    The Country Dance
    Saturday night and the milking’s done
    Jack the lad is ready for fun
    Not much happening in the rural town
    He’ll meet the lads, maybe act the clown

    A quick shave and a lick behind the ears
    Then he’s out the door for a couple of beers
    The lads have gathered, the’re playing darts
    While chattering on about the local marts...

    Who sold this and who bought that
    When in he walks in his cowboy hat
    A vision to all, a sight to behold
    As he settles down among his fold..

    They drink and drink and drink some more
    Empty bottles on the floor
    The darts can’t seem to find the board
    And the oche’s moved amid all the discord

    Part 2

    It’s closing time, the crowed breaks up
    Our heroic Jack still stacks them up
    With pints before him his eyes just closed..
    His head still there or so he supposed

    One by one they disappear
    Our friend just smiles he’s downed the beer..
    Our docile pal is now one of the boys
    They all believe each others lies..

    Part 3

    He stands up straight, he’s left his seat
    He’s off to join his captains fleet..
    Floating on the raging sea
    He soon begins to pay the fee..

    He staggers over to the hall
    His shipmates are ready for the ball
    He joins the queue of waiting men
    He hangs his head…. sea sick again…

    Amid the crowd he sees a face
    He struts across the hall , he’s making pace
    His hand reaches out with such grace
    The girl stands back...he’s flat on his face

    Two strange men help him to his feet
    Our poor friend can’t stand the heat
    They take him out into the cool air
    He’s standing there without a care

    He’s on his own there’s not a sound
    He topples over to the ground
    Lying there he remembers her face
    Then he Burps good night
    To the human race..
