Young Banker

You might hear a rendition of this shortly...



The banker, in this instance, is not a bowler-hatted-commuter to the City of London.
He is a rustic tradesman.
He clears ditches and builds stone walls.
He sports a fine head of hair and shows a pleasing face.

His lace-adorned hat renders him questionably attractive to fair maidens.

Here's the chorus:

Young banker he had such an handsome face

And all around his hat he wore a band of lace

Beside such an handsome head of hair

For my young banker I will go there

(I think some of those 'h's should be aspirated.)

Go for it!

PSM shares the following intelligence:

The Wilsons are a fine group and, in a rare Southern appearance, are booked to do a day-long workshop (on Mining songs & Graeme Miles songs) plus an evening concert at the Lewes Saturday Club on the 21st of July.
