in the hour after sunset

as they rattled down the causeway

at the foot of the hill

stood in open doorways

they didn't give a glance

Nothing could detain them

as they ran like the wind

To beat their old neighbours

to the last dance

There were farmers and their wives,

shepherds with their collies

Harvesters with scythes
G

that could cut you to the bone
C

There were carters, weavers,

butchers waving cleavers

Some took a partner,

some danced alone

shook the frost from their beers

in a military stance

Each from his pocket

pulled a pint of tailor's ale

Down on the ri verbank

who wouldn't join the fun

the dregs of all humanity
F
Em
Come on, it could have been no worse,
Am
they wondered why they'd come
F
So they all took out their Bibles,
G
C
Am
closed their eyes in meditation
F
Am
F
Said a little prayer for the

God send us down from the boat

to show no disapproval

With a terrifying pine,
Am
the firmament split open

Like the Red Sea once had parted,

the touch of Bozer's rod
Am
C

There, clad in hoping,
Am
but whiskers and a nightshirt
F

Was the ruler of the uni verse,
the one and only God

He said, Dance, you boogers, dance,
G
C
Am
or you'll never get to heaven
F
The Methodists were doubtful,
Am
but they couldn't take the chance
G

girded up their loins
F
And went bravely, like martyrs,
G
to the first dance
Am
C
G
Everyone was having fun,
Am
especially the Methodists

They shouted Hallelujah
Em

through their Bibles in the air

jumped in the river
F
Em
Rejoicing that their bodies
and their souls

had been laid bare

and the riflemen and gunners

Who'd last been seen a -waltzing

through the red fields of France

Took aim at the moon,
G

fired a thousand gun salutes

For their other companions in last dance

In the morning they were gone,

the riverbank was empty

Except for a Bible
Em

and some bottles on a wall
C

To Bradford or to Manchester
F
Some were in doubt
Em
Am
if they'd been there at all
F
G
But I was up at dawn,
C
Am
on a hill above the reservoir
F
The last stragglers waved
Am
C

as they saw me in the distance
F

Then, and exhausted,
Am
they slip beneath the water
Em
F
To sleep, perhaps,
G
C
C
the dream of the last dance
