Late-60s/early-70s School Song
« on: 16 December, 2021, 11:33:08 am »
Here's a niche challenge:


I have an ear worm that is a song I used to sing at school in the late-60s/early-70s. I thought it might be from Singing Together, so I bought copies of the pamphlets from '68 to '72, but it isn't in them. Mind you, they did bring back some memories, thobut...


The lyrics are:


From a bleak, northern valley
In the mountains I spring
And I hurry past the boulders
Which mockingly sing


Rest here for a while
Why hurry along
Why hurry so
Why hurry so
Why hurry so along?


Don't ask me how words from 50 years ago stick in my mind, they just do!


So, any ideas about the song?
