Verse about bread from the following folk song (sang in a tunnel for acoustics) - I shall record the whole song soon
Adieu to Old England, adieu,
And adieu to some hundreds of pounds.
If the world had been ended when I had been young,
My sorrows I'd never have known
Once I could drink of the best,
The very best brandy and rum.
Now I am glad of a cup of spring water
That flows from town to town.
Once I could eat of good bread,
Good bread that was made of good wheat.
Now I am glad with a hard mouldy crust
And glad that I got it to eat.
Once I could lie on a good bed,
A good bed that was made of soft down.
Now I am glad of a clot of clean straw
To keep myself from the cold ground.
Once I could ride in my carriage,
With servants to drive me along.
Now I'm in prison, in prison so strong
Not knowing which way I can turn.

With Luna the puppy??This is my new pup and since she's part collie I had to sing a song about a shepherd ?
All my songs are pretty much spontaneous and decided in the moment. I don't go out with a planned one in mind. Have to see what the occasion brings and what feels right so admittedly I didn't quite get all the words right this time. I hadn't practiced ?
Anyway here is a lovely version of this traditional folk song and where I learnt it:
