Pomona (The Cider Goddess Song)

from Is That You? by Lewis Mullen

/

about

This is a song I co-wrote with my former bandmate and flatmate Caroline Kemp (AKA Caro Marrow). We are both fond of ye scrumpy. Pomona is the Roman goddess of fruitful abundance, and this is a song of praise to bring together all those who wish to join in the dancing (clothed or otherwise)

lyrics

Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her
Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her

Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her
Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her

Come all ye beggars and gypsies and whores
Come fill up your glasses and drink a bit more
With one pint we're happy with two we are free
With four we get naked and dance round the tree

Sing La da da da, la da da dee
Cider for you and for me

Come all ye match girls and phossie jaw freaks
Come drink of the scrumpy, you'll be out for weeks
We are the pieces that just don't fit in
The apple the fruit of original sin

La da da da, la da da dee
Cider for you and for me

Come all ye bedlam boys, rattle your chains
Come all ye poets and addle your brains
One pint and you might write a sonnet or two
With three you'll do what you've aye wanted to do

La da da da, la da da dee
Cider for you and for me

Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her
Praise Pomona, the Cider Goddess
Praise Her

Out with your misery out with your hate
Come join in the dancing before it's too late
We are the pieces that never will fit
You can't stop the bonfire now it is lit

La da da da, la da da dee
Cider for you and for me

La da da da, la da da dee
Cider for you and for me

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
