Advice

Singers in the Halls were not shy about giving advice about how to live your life. The songs were sometimes referred to as “motto songs” …
Convivial Man, The
Free and easy
Help a lame-dog over a stile
Help one another boys; never push a man when he’s going downhill
It’s not the miles we travel but the pace that kills
Motto for everyman, A
Old Adam was father of all
Paddle your own canoe
Pulling hard against the stream
Wait for the turn of the tide
Wait til the work comes round
We all came into the world with nothing
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Work boys work and be contented
You never miss your water till the well runs dry
