Cornish Folklore
Lost Atlantis lies beneath an ancient sea
Far beyond the pillars of Hercules
Miles off the coast of Cornwall's Land's End
Lost in a distant past so hard to comprehend
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a star gazey pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
To the north west of Madron there was a chambered tomb
Married women would go there to get pregnant at full moon
A stone with a hole that could make the sick well
With two brass pins your future it could also tell
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a star gazey pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
The island of Tresco is a place for mermaids
In Piper's Hole a cave is where they may have stayed
There is a sea monster out in Falmouth bay
Some fisherman caught it in their nets they did say
Then there's Tintagel perched high up on a cliff
The birth place of King Arthur another Cornish myth
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a stargazy pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
Far beyond the pillars of Hercules
Miles off the coast of Cornwall's Land's End
Lost in a distant past so hard to comprehend
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a star gazey pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
To the north west of Madron there was a chambered tomb
Married women would go there to get pregnant at full moon
A stone with a hole that could make the sick well
With two brass pins your future it could also tell
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a star gazey pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
The island of Tresco is a place for mermaids
In Piper's Hole a cave is where they may have stayed
There is a sea monster out in Falmouth bay
Some fisherman caught it in their nets they did say
Then there's Tintagel perched high up on a cliff
The birth place of King Arthur another Cornish myth
Merlin has prophecies yet to be fulfilled
With tales of the round table we are always thrilled
In Mousehole have a stargazy pie
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
With pilchards staring up towards the night sky
