lyrics
Martin said to his man fie man fie,
Martin said to his man who’s the fool now,
Martin said to his man fill thou the cup and I the can,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
I saw the sheep shear the corn fie man fie,
I saw the sheep shear the corn who’s the fool now,
I saw the sheep shear the corn saw the bird blow the horn,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
I saw the man in the moon fie man fie,
I saw the man in the moon who’s the fool now,
I saw the man in the moon clouting out St Peter’s sh’oon,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
I saw the hare chase the hound fie man fie,
I saw the hare chase the hound who’s the fool now,
I saw the hare chase the hound twenty mile above the ground,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
I saw the goose ring the hog fie man fie,
I saw the goose ring the hog who’s the fool now,
I saw the goose ring the hog saw the snail bite the dog,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
Martin said to his man fie man fie,
Martin said to his man who’s the fool now,
Martin said to his man fill thou the cup and I the can,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
Thou has well drunken man who’s the fool now,
Thou has well drunken man who’s the fool now

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
Another wonderful collection from Karine. From the hauntingly beautiful to the quitetly barbed politics, Karine delivers a consistently deep and powerful album. scottish_viking

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
