Cadgwith Anthem

     D                        A7        D
Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry,
                             G  A      D
For to rob and to plunder it is our in-tent


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.


[Verse 2]
     D                        A7        D
We come from yonder mountain, and our pistols are loaded,
                                   G  A      D
And we'll rob and we'll plunder as is our in-tent.


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.


[Verse 3]
      D                             A7           D
Hark, hark, in the distance there's footsteps ap-proaching.
                             G  A         D
Stand, stand and deliver, it is our watch cry.


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.


[Verse 4]
          D                             A7         D
Take your gold and your silver, or your life if re-sisted.
                              G     A       D
We'll scorn at your agony and laugh at your threats.


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.


[Verse 5]
   D                       A7            D
So now we'll return to our wives and our children,
                                G   A         D
Expecting their fathers to come rob-bing this way.


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.


[Verse 6]
     D                        A7        D
Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry
                                       G A       D
Whilst the moonbeams are shining right o-ver our bed.


[Chorus]
      A                D
As we roam through the valley
          G              D
Where the lilies and the roses
                               A            D
And the beauty of Cashmere lay drooping its head.
       A7          D           A                    D
Then a-way, then a-way, then a-way – ay – ay – ay - ay
                                            G       A  D
To those caves in yonder mountain where the robbers re-treat.
