A Calling-On Song

     D                       C D
Good people pray heed our pe-tition
        D7                    C
Your at-tention we beg and we crave
       D          D7            C  D
And if you are in-clined for to listen
     D7          Am7           D
An a-bundance of pastime we'll have


[Verse 2]
        D                    C  D
We have come to re-late many stories
    D7                       C
Con-cerning our forefathers’ time
Continues after the ad
       D               D7             C  D
And we trust they will drive out your worries
   D7          Am7         D
Of this we are all in one mind


[Verse 3]
     D                         C  D
Many tales of the poor and the gentry
   D7                     C
Of labour and love will a-rise
          D        D7            C   D
There are no finer songs in this country
   D7          Am7           D
In Scotland or Ireland like-wise


[Verse 4]
        D                      C  D
There's one thing more need be mentioned
    D7                        C
The dances we’ll dance all in fun
   D               D7           C  D
So now that you've heard our in-tention
           D7        Am7          D
We'll play on to the beat of the drum
