Eton Boating Song

Categories: Education, Music / songs

Written by William Johnson Cory. First performed in 1863, the first verse goes:. . . .

Jolly boating weather,
And a hay harvest breeze,
Blade on the feather,
Shade off the trees,
Swing swing together,
With your bodies between your knees,
Swing swing together,
With your bodies between your knees.
