| Bruce found an old University Geology Field Trip Songbook for the year of 1977 someplace in the back of his book collection. There are 110 songs in it. I am amazed to find I know 71 of them, most of them being songs my parents and I sung on long car trips since before I can remember. It is a real mishmash of variable songs... | ||||||||||||||||||

| Here are the words to a few ones that go well with the Mordavia theme... | ||||||||||||||||||
| Cruel War | ||||||||||||||||||
| The cruel war is raging Joihnny has to fight, I want to be with him From morning to night. I want to be with him It grieves my heart so, Won't you let me go with you No, my love, no. Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day That your Captain will call you And you must obey. Your Captain will call you It grieves my heart so, Won't you let me go with you No, my love, no. I'll tie back my hair Men's clothing I'll put on I'll pass as your comrade As we march along. I'll pass as your comrade No-one will ever know Won't you let me go with you No, my love, no. Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind, I love you far beter Than all of mankind. I love you far better Than words can e'er express, Won't you let me go with you Yes, my love, yes. |

| Men of Harlech | ||||||||||||||||||
| Men of Harlech in the hollow, Do you hear that rushing billow, Wave on wave that surging, follow Battle's distant sound. Loose the folds asunder, Flag we conquer under; Placid skies that hear our cries Shall launch their bolts in thunder; Onward 'tis our country needs us He is bravest, he who leads us. Honour's self now proudly heads us. Freedom, God and Right. 'Tis the sound of Saxon foemen, Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen; Be they knight, or hinds or yoemen, They shall bite the ground. |

| National Song of the Ancient Britons Tune: Men of Harlech |

| What's the good of wearing braces, Vests and pants and boots with laces, Spats or hats you buy in places Down in Brompton Road. What's the use of shirts of cotton Studs that always get forgotten? These affairs are simply rotten, Better far is Woad. Woad's the stuff to show men Woad to scare your foemen: Boil it to a brilliant blue And rub it on your back and abdomen, Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on Anything as good as Woad to fit on Necks or knees or where you sit on, Tailors, you be blowed! Romans come across the channel, All wrapped up in tin and flannel: Half a pint of Woad per man'll Dress us more than these. Saxon you can waste your stitches Building beds for bugs in breeches: We have Woad to clothe us Which is not a nest for fleas. Romans, keep your armours; Saxons your pyjamas; Hairy coats were meant for goats Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas, Tramp up Snowdon with our Woad on, Never mind if we get rained or snowed on, Never want a button sewed on - Go it, Ancient Brits! |
