HORKSTOW GRANGE In Horkstow Grange there lived an old miser You all do know him as I have heard say It's him on his man that was named John Bowlin And they fell out one market day With a blackthorn stick old Steeleye struck him As of times he had threatened before John Bowlin turned round all in a passion And knocked old Steeleye into the floor Old Steeleye Span he was filled with John Bowlin It happened to be on a market day Old Steeleye swore with all his vengeance He would swear his life away Pity them who see him suffer Pity poor old Steeleye Span John Bowlin's deeds they will be remembered Pity poor old Steeleye Span Pity poor old Steeleye Span The title track of Steeleye Span's album "Horkstow Grange" is the song which gave Steeleye Span its name. "We are still asked where the name of the band came from, so here it is…. Steeleye Span, a waggoner who ruined his life because of an incident with John Bowlin. Little did he know that his name would live on." –Peter Words: Traditional English; Music: Peter Knight filename[ HORKGRAN JD Feb07  8note Sheet |
