This is it and that is it
And this is morris dancing,
The piper fell and he broke his neck
And he said it was a chance Sir. ... [sometimes "a-chancing" or "trouncing"].
I do not know and I do not care
What fun we had in Brada
A piece of bread and an old cow’s head
And a pudding in the larder.
A savory loaf and an oaken pie
That we had in Brada
A bit for me and a bit for thee
And a bit for the Morris dancers.
The following words were published in a pamphlet (1978 or ’79) by the Winster Morris Dancers.:
You don’t know and I don’t know
What fun we had at Brampton,
A roasted pig and a cuddle duck
And a pudding in a lantern!
The first mention of the morris at Winster is in 1863, however, it was considered to have been well-established at the time. Morris dance teams have continued to perform at Winster to the present day, with hiatuses during the World Wars.
