Merry Mountain Child
Come strike the harp I long to hear those merry tales of old.
<be>Ere youth has lost its flowery wreath and loving hearts grown cold,
And loving, loving hearts grown cold.
It brings me back those happy days when roving free and wild,
I played about my native home,
I played about my native home,
I played about my native home,
A merry mountain child.
This was one of Arthur Howard’s favourite songs. It was written in 1857 by local composer and choir master, Joe Perkin of Holmfirth and is rarely heard outside the area.
