Christmas on the Brummegham Cut Written by Brian Langtry Copyright Bridge Music. All rights protected. The church bell rings, through the mist choirs sing The early bird takes to the wing The crisp morning air and the trees so bare It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut The bilges are clear, the old stove well afire Wood all stacked up and dried The cracking of ice as the breaker hoots twice It's Christmas etc x 2 It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut The boat and the butty tied up It's Christmas time, sup the ale and mulled wine It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut The old yellow lamp paints shadows on the winda Dripping tears on the virginal snow Old Stan staggers by with his bible and gin He'll be lucky if he don't fall in Yes it's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut x 2 It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut Snow fresh speckled with soot The ice is so thick you could bounce a big brick It's Christmas on the Brummegham Cut Lyrics and recording kindly provided by Brian Langtry who toured a multi media show called “Coal and Canals” in 2018 and 2019.
