From the recording Touch Wood
Lyrics
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
And a sixpence,
In your shoe
Cotton and coal
The mill and the mine
Bread and butter
Beer and wine
As long as you both shall live
Men in moustaches.
Women in hats
Till death do us part
Cotton and coal
The mill and the mine
The heart and the soul.
Of the family line.
Speak now, or forever hold your peace
Cotton and coal
The mill and the mine
Blood and bone
Earth and divine
