    From Ricky Sutphin@RICKSBBS/TIME to All on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 04:08:49
    THE PACE EGGING SONG
    traditional a spring equinox song

    [CHORUS]
    HERE'S ONE TWO THREE JOLLY LADS
    ALL IN ONE MIND
    WE HAVE COME A PACE EGGING
    AND WE HOPE YOU'LL PROVE KIND
    AND WE HOPE YOU'LL PROVE KIND
    WITH YOUR EGGS AND STRONG BEER
    FOR WE'LL COME NO MORE NIGH YOU
    UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR

    AND THE FIRST THAT COMES IN IS LORD NELSON, YOU'LL SEE
    WITH A BUNCH OF BLUE RIBBONS TIED ROUND BY HIS KNEE
    AND THE STY ON HIS BREAST IT LIKE SILVER DOES SHINE
    AND I HOPE HE REMEMBERS IT'S PACE EGGING TIME

    [CHORUS]

    AND THE NEXT THAT COMES IN IS HIS LORD FALLENWOOD
    AND HE FOUGHT WITH LORD NELSON TILL HE SHED HIS BLOOD
    AND HE'S COME FROM THE SEA, OLD ENGLAND, TO YOU
    AND HE'S COME A PACE EGGING WITH THE WHOLE OF HIS CREW

    [CHORUS]

    THE LAST THAT COMES IN IS OLD TOSSPOT, YOU'LL SEE
    HE'S A VALIENT OLD MAN AND EVER HE'D AGREE
    HE'S A VALIENT OLD MAN AND HE WEARS A PIGTAIL
    AND ALL HIS DELIGHT IS IN DRINKING STRONG ALE

    [CHORUS]

    COME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SIT BY THE FIRE
    PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS AND GIVE US OUR DESIRE
    PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS AND TREAT US ALL RIGHT
    IF YOU'LL GIVE NOT, WE'LL TAKE NOT
    FAREWELL AND GOODNIGHT

    [CHORUS]
