I wasn't sure if this should go in idle chat but as it is caving related I think it should be here.
I have written a caving song for Andy Sparrow and Rachel Paynes wedding on 7th February- I hope we will get to sing it. Please feel free to use this thread to share your favorite caving songs or self penned one's. Many thanks from Misty

The Wild Caver
Well I?ve been a wild caver for many a year
And I?ve spent all my money on Sparrow?s cave gear
And now I?m returning with gifts from their store
And I never will play the wild caver no more
chorus:
And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild caver
No never no more.
I went to the Hunters I often frequent
And I told lovely Jackie my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Cavers like you walk in here each day."
chorus
I took from my pocket ten carbide lamps bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said "I have Potholes and Mines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only a test."
chorus
I'll go home to my parents, confess where I've gone
And I'll ask them to pardon their potholing son.
And if they forgive me as often before
Sure I never will play the wild caver no more.
