Lyrics by:Montagu Slater/George Crabbe
Composed by:Benjamin Britten
We planned that their lives should
Have a new start
That I as a friend could
Make the plan work
By bringing comfort where
Their lives were stark
You planned to be worldly-wise
But your souls were dark
We planned this time to
Care for the boy
O little care you for the prentice
Or his welfare
To save him from danger
And hardship sore
Call it danger call it harship
Or plain murder
And mending his clothes and giving him
Regular meals
But thanks to flinty hearts
Even quacks can make a profit
Perhaps his clothes you mended
But you work his bones bare
You meant just to be kind
And avert fear
You interfering gossips this
Is not your business
Pity the boy
You planned to heal sick souls
With bodily care
O pity those who try to bring
A shadowed life into the sun
O Lord hard hearts
Who let's us down must take the rap
The Borough keeps its standards up
The Borough keeps its standards up
Tried to be kind
Murder
Tried to be kind and to help
Murder
