Morris dancing is now over
Not just for one more day
The handkerchiefs are all still
There will be no more play
You liked to dance and jingle
To shake a merry foot
Without thinking of the future
When silence rules the shoot
They loved you as you capered
Or so they always said
Only now as darkness gathers
The photos fade to red
Your dance no one remembers
The passing time is cruel
If anybody thinks of you
They conjure up a fool
But perhaps you'll give one final show
Just for the old time's sake
Applause will ring out loud and long
From a never ending tape
