The Gardener
Trad/Arrangement by Jude Edwin-Scott
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music 2022
The gardener stands in his door
Holding a primrose in his hand
A true maiden walks by
She's as slender as a willow wand
Oh lady can you fancy me
For to be my bride
All the flowers in my garden
Will make your beauty shine
The lily White be your smock
Becomes your body best
Your head busk'd with the gilly flower
The primrose in your breast
Your gown be sweet William
Your coat the camomile
Your apron all the salads neat
That taste both sweet and fine
Your gloves shall be the marigold
All glittering in your hands
Spread over with the blue wort
That grows among corn land
So fare thee well young man she says
Farewell and bid adieu
If you can fancy me she says
Oh I cannot fancy you
The clothing you gave to me
Among the summer flowers
I'll give you another
Among the winter showers
The fallen snow shall be your smock
Becomes your body best
Your head wound with the Eastern wind
The cold rain on your breast

Young Ramble Away
Trad/arrangement Jude Edwin-Scott
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words /Chorus 2022
As I was a walking down Tavistock street
My scarlet cloak, my buckles complete
Entice all the maidens all that day
Set their sweet eyes on young Ramble away
As I was a going through Tavistock fair
Saw fair pretty Nancy combing her hair
My hat and my ribbons bright and so gay
She could not but look at young Ramble away
Don't be led astray by Ramble away
Lay your love down sweetly
If you do then you'll rue the day
You laid your love down sweetly
As I was a walking that night in the dark
I stood at her door, I shone as a spark
She looked through her window as of to say
Are you the young lad called Ramble away?
After twenty-four weeks has passed
The fair pretty mad did sicken at last
Her gown would not meet or apron strings stay
Twas through the love of young Ramble away
Her dad and mum from home they were gone
When they return I'll sing them a song
Sinh them a song and have them to say
Are you the young lad called ramble away?
All you pretty maids wherever you'll be
With courting young fellows don't leave yourself free
If you should be then you will rue the day
You met with the likes of young ramble away

Mackerel Sky
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words 2022
Four strong winds
Are blowing through the valley
I think of you under mackerel sky
I was just a boy when I left old England
Left my mama crying on the old port side
Oh lord, ran way oh, ran away oh
Ran away to sea
And I
Oh lord, ran away oh, ran away oh
Ran away to see the war
Six weeks training
There on the Isle of Wight
Where as a boy I'd go on holiday
Before I knew it I was jumping out of aeroplanes
Into the green of the agean sea
Our young sergeant said 'fix your bayonets'
Sticks and stones against the gatling gun
We obeyed his orders
And ran towards the enemy
We lost ourselves in the deafening cry
The sun came between us and the enemy
They turned tail and they ran away
But before we could count our blessings
We saw our ships had sailed away
In the camps there was a German officer
Who let us listen to his radio
Someone found out and sent him to the front line
It seems that kindness has a price to pay
When the Russians came
They came by horse and cart
With no pomp or ceremony
The cruel face of war
Try to wipe it from my memory
We're all brothers at the end of the day

Heart Space
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and words 2022
Setting out on an ocean of courage
Over land and sea
Maybe someday make a little money
To help my family
Love is bigger than all these things
And it fills the room we're in
It can move mountains
This is where I'll begin
Letting go of all that trouble
Step into the light
See it unfold moment to moment
That's how I'll live my life
There's a church on a cliff face
High above the earth
Just a little heart space
Flying in like little birds
Everything turns
The earth and the seasons
Gonna lay my roots down
See my children running in fields
Wearing silver crowns
Blossoms in the air now
And it feels like a wedding day
Keep your heart open
And blow those blues away
Love is bigger than all these things
And it fills the room we're in
It can move mountains
This is where I'll begin
Open up your soul
Wherever the river flows
Wherever the river goes
Open up your soul
Wherever the rover flows
Wherever the river goes

The Wrong Side Of Eden
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words 2022
You're on the wrong side of Eden
Man you ain't treating those people right
You're on the wrong side of Eden
Man you ain't treating those people right
I've seen the mamas crying
When their loved ones are out of sight
You're walking a fine line
Two thousand miles
You're walking a fine line
Two thousand miles
The people keep on moving
They got to feed their child
You've been fighting wars
Since the nineteenth century
You're been fighting wars
Since the nineteenth century
When you hold on to power
You've got to have an enemy
You can build your wall
In the middle of the Rio Grande
You can build your wall
In the middle of the Rio Grande
But the waters will keep on rising
Wash away those best laid plans
You're on the wrong side of Eden
You ain't treating those people right
You're on the wrong side of Eden
You ain't treating those people right
I've seen the mamas crying
When their loved ones out of sight

The Lover
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words 2022
Deep in your heart
There is a lover
Hiding low
Under cover
Coals burning
Deep in the fire
Feel the iron in me
Keeping silent
Snow on the field
All your colours wrapped around you like a shield
See your beauty
Like horses in the snow
Rolling round when the hay goes low
Where is your heart ache?
Where is your bruise?
Slip sliding not footloose
You're a diamond
You're a queen
You can change the colour of the deep blue sea
Over the hills and far away
We're riding on the breeze
Left the city and it's sticky ways
It's where you want to be
The sun is setting in the sky
The clouds roll in like waves
Step into this burning sea
My heart is all aflame
I feel the stars inside
When I'm still
Hold me
I feel the stars inside
When I'm still
Hold me
I'm waking up
And I'm screaming
Love is real
Don't want to be dreaming
All my life
Reciprocated in a loving universe
I feel the stars inside
When I'm still
Hold me
I feel the stars inside
When I'm still
Hold me

Van Dieman's Land
Trad/arrangement Jude Edwin-Scott
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words/Chorus 2022
Come all you gallant poachers that ramble without a care
Take a walk in the moonlight, dog, gun and your snare
With the hare and the pheasant at your command
Not thinking you'll end up in Van Dieman's Land
Tom Brown from Nottingham
Jack Williams and poor Joe
Were three daring poachers the country did know
One night they were treppaned by the keepers hideous hand
Fourteen years transported to Van Dieman's Land
And it's down and it's down
On the Atlantic we're trapped and bound
A cruel fate awaits us on Van Dieman's Land
And it's down and it's down
Round Cape Horn through the Indian Sound
Think of us there hard working Van Dieman's Land
When we sailed from England we landed in the bay
We had rotten straw for bedding but we dared not say
They fenced us in with fire and we slumber when we can
Drive away the wolves and tigers from Van Dieman's Land
And when we arrived on that fateful shore
The planters came around us twenty score or more
They ranked us up like horses and sold us out of hand
Then yoked us to the plough to plough Van Dieman's Land
Often when I slumber I have a pleasant dream
With my sweetheart I'm sitting by some pearling stream
Roaming around England with her at my command
Awaken broken hearted on Van Dieman's Land

The Roving Miner
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words 2022
Over two hundred thousand men
Lost their jobs to the politicians pen
Scattered like seeds across the glen
The roving miner
Even when the moon is bright
I still see by the miner's light
There's a shadow on my life
The wind is howling
Follow the open road
Like a map through my northern soul
Every corner you will go
You'll see me trying
And now my eyes grow dim
From the coal dust, copper and tin
In my heart there's a choir singing
It keeps me flying
From Cumbria to Lancashire
South Wales to Tyne and Wear
See our lights just disappear
The harbour's fading
Gabriel's hounds they run so fast
This way of life wasn't built to last
Another we dram from the old cut glass
To keep from drowning
Over one hundred and ninety pits closed
Ten years of Thatcher's blows
You'd starve our children
Put us on the road
The Roving miners
Sea Pink grows there now
Our veins exposed somehow
We are the treasure beneath the plough
See us shining

Seven Gypsies
Trad/ Nic Jones Arrangement
Seven Gypsies all in a row
They sang so sweet and bonnie o
They sang so neat
They're so complete
They stole the heart of a lady
She's kicked off her high-heeled shoes
Made of Spanish leather
She's put an old pair of brogues on
To follow the Gypsy laddie
Late at night the Lord came home
Enquiring for his Lady
The servants down on his knees and said
She's away with the Seven Gypsies
He's been over the high high hills
Till he came to the morning
There he's found his own dear wife
In the arms of the Seven Gypsies
Last night I slept in a feather bed
With the sheets and blankets around me
Tonight I slept in a cold open field
In the arms of the Seven Gypsies
Seven Gypsies all in a row
They sang so sweet and bonnie o
They sang so neat
But all were hanged
For the stealing of a famous lady

The eye of the moon
Shines gold in
the forest fire
200, 000 acres lost in a day
No more parrots or toucans
No Orangutans too
Say goodbye to the medicines that would help me and you
Deforestation blues
Finding you
Deforestation blues
Finding you
The Awa people
In the heart of the Amazon
They bulldozed their homeland
The forest they depended on
No more Jesus lizards
No more river dolphins
Say goodbye to the butterfly
That'll never spread it's wings
Deforestation blues
Finding you
Deforestation Blues
Finding you
Harakwaha
This place I call my home
Harakwaha
This place I call my home
Deforestation Blues
Finding you
Deforestation Blues
Finding you

Rose Of London Town
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and Words 2022
She's a rose, a rose of London
She's a rose, a rose of London
She's a rose, a rose of London
She's a rose of London Town
She's the daughter of a military man
Born in 1870s France
Ethel Matthew's is her name
She's a rose of London Town
Trod the boards at 17
In Macbeth at the Lyceum
We fell in love at the very first scene
She's a rose of London Town
Fell in with Kendall Company
In St James's, played light comedy
See her portrait in the gallery
She's a rose of London Town
Took a boat across to New York
In the year 1905
She's the 'Catch Of The Season' boys
She's a rose of London Town
All my life I've run free
Travelling across the Seine to the sea
Follow your heart
Just like me
Come and join this raggle taggle family

Feel My Love
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music and words 2022
Where the stream flows
Not many people know
But a handful of friends
That I love
Dip my feet right in
Copper on my skin
Then I'm really listening
To the world
Oh feel my love
Oh feel my love
Oh feel my love
Feel my love for you
Where the mountain's steep
Snow beneath my feet
Looking down the valley to where I've been
Under the sycamore trees
There's a happy family
All held in the palm of a hand
Oh feel my love
Oh feel my love
Oh feel my love
Feel my love for you
Feel my love
Bring you home
Feel my love
Bring you home

Morning Dew
Trad/arrangement Jude Edwin-Scott
Copyright Jude Edwin-Scott Music 2022
He was a Shepherd's son
Kept sheep upon a hill
He lay his crook and pipe aside
And there He slept his fill
He looked east and he looked west
Then gave an under look
There he spied a fair lady
Swimming in a brook
He raised his head from his green bed
Then approached the maid
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And be ye not afraid
Tis fitter for a lady fair
To sew a silken seam
Than get up on a may morning
And strive against the stream
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
If you'll not touch my mantle
And leave my clothes alone
I'll give you as much money
As you can carry home
I'll not touch your mantle
And I'll leave your clothes alone
I'll take you out the clear water
My dear to be my own
She's climbed out the clear water
He's taken her in his arms
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And hide those lovely charms
He's mounted her on a milk white steed
Himself upon another
And all along the way they rode
Like sister and like brother
When they came to her father's gate
Nimbly she's whipped in
Ready stood the porter there
To let the fair made in
When the gate was opened
She's twirled upon the pin
Pow! You're a fool without she says
And I'm a maid within
So fare-thee-well my modest boy
And thank you for your care
But had you done what you should do
I'd never have left you there

The Horizon

Open your eyes to the setting sun
A golden lake on the horizon
Shire horse and the stallion
He lost the race but he really won
Chattering crows when the day is done
Howling wolf wants me to run
The man in the moon he really sings
Let the new tide bring us good things
