08 ME Duet(Bessie and Raleigh) 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Apr 2003

[Raleigh:] When true love
hath found a man,
he will hear the Pipe of Pan,
Pan, the god of open country,
Oh, his tunes are pretty!
Nature bids you
bring your sweet one,
where no other soul
may meet one.
Ah! "Nature made the country side,
and man did make the city."
Come, come, to Arcadie!
Bring your Phyllis,
happy Corydon!
Learn together, if you can,
the simple tunes of Piper Pan!
[Both:] Come, come to Arcadie,
Bring your Phyllis,
happy Corydon! Ah!
Learn together, if you can,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la,
Come to Arcadie!

[Bessie:] When a maid
doth love a man,
she will hear the Pipe of Pan,
Pan will call her,
call her, call her,
with a magic ditty!
Better far a country cottage
if your true love
share your pottage,
Ah! Than to dwell
in Castle Pride
as some do - more's the pity!

Come, come to Arcadie!
I'll be Phyllis,
you be Corydon!
Happy maid and happy man,
to dance all day for Piper Pan!

Come, come to Arcadie!
I'll be Phyllis,
you'll be Corydon, Ah!
Happy maid and happy man,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la,
Come to Arcadie!
[Raleigh:] Come to Arcadie!
Happy maid and man,

[Bessie:] Tra la, la, la, la, la,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
[Both:] Come to Arcadie!
[Dance:]
