H. F. S. [Music]
1. One day in October, / Neither drunken nor sober, / O'er Broadbury Down I was wending my way. / When I heard of some ringing, / Some dancing and singing, / I ought to remember that Jubilee Day. / _Refrain_ / 'Twas in Ashwater Town, / The bells they did soun' / They rang for a belt and a hat laced with gold. / But the men of North Lew / Rang so steady and true, / That never were better in Devon, I hold.
