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 |
