Catches and Rounds

Catches and Rounds which have already been sung at our monthly singing sessions or performed at a SDFS public event.



Banbury Ale

Banbury ale,
Where, where, where?
At the blacksmith's house,
I would I were there.

Child of light

Child of light,
Star so bright,
Hear to Angels singing,
On this dark night.

Wmp3 (Tune)

Wmp4a (Tune)


Gather Round the Fire

Gather round the fire,
Let the bright warming cheer your heart,
Hail the woodland Lord.

Wmp3 (Tune)


Hey Ho Winter Snow

Hey Ho Winter Snow,
Logs for the fire,
Home we go,
Hear the choir singing.

Wmp3 (Tune)


I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a bird sing,
In the dark of December,
A magical thing,
And sweet to remember.

We are nearer to Spring,
Than we were in September,
I heard a bird sing,
In the dark of December.

Wmp4a (Tune)


Stir Up Sunday

Stir up we beseech ye,
The pudding's in the pot,
And when we get home,
We'll eat it all hot.

Wmp3 (Tune)

Wmp4a (Tune)


Summer Is Near

Rambling rolling Downs in Spring,,
Swifts will soar and harebells ring,
Soft blows the wind,
Bright shines the sun,
Summer's near and Winter’s done.

Wmp3 (Tune)


Wassail Your Apples

Wassail all your apple trees upon this winter's day,
They will bloom and fruit so well the bugs will fly away,
We'll have plenty!
We'll have plenty!
Apple pies, what sweet surprise, we'll eat them every day.

Wmp4a (Tune)
