Lyrics to A Calling-On Song Good people pray heed a petition Your attention we beg and crave And if you are inclined for to listen An abundance of pastime we'll have
We have come to relate many stories Concerning our forefathers time And we trust they will drive out your worries Of this we are all in one mind
Many tales of the poor and the gentry Of labor and love will arise There are no finer songs in this country In Scotland or Ireland likewise
There's one thing more need be mentioned The dances are danced all in fun So now you've heard our intention We'll play on to the beat of the drum
