Sixpence Song - Sandy Rapp
(from Rapp's score for Sydney Michaels' ""Shaxpur."")
Son I give you sixpence, a penny for your thoughts,
A penny if I'm in 'em and a farthing if I'm not.
Put it in your pocket, save it for a day,
Take it to the market, spend it on the way.
Chorus:
Never saw the use for money in the hand,
I brighten the world up when I can.
Never lost the love of the river and the rain,
Over the Avon, home again.
Son I give you thrupence, a penny for the rain,
The valley low the tally ho the huntin' o' the game.
Should there come a time son you break your heart in two,
The country dew will make it new and give it back to you
(repeat chorus)
Son I give you tupence, a penny for the stage,
And if its mine I'll make it thine the day you come of age.
Should you tell your mother, I sold it out to thee,
She'd slit my throat and buy a boat and sink me in the sea.
(repeat chorus)
