Biografia:
The British duo, properly known as Michael Flanders & Donald Swann, was composed of the actor and singer Michael Flanders and the composer, pianist and linguist Donald Swann, who collaborated in writing and performing comic songs.
Flanders and Swann's songs are characterised by wit, gentle satire, complex rhyming schemes, and memorable choruses. They wrote over eighty comic songs together.
Between 1956 and 1967 they performed some of their songs in their long-running two-man revues At the Drop of a Hat and At the Drop of Another Hat.

Capo Fret 1
G D
When you're walking in the country,
G D
Far from villages or towns,
Am D G
When you're seven miles from nowhere and beyond
G D
In some dark, deserted forest
G D
Or a hollow of the downs,
Am D G
You may come across a lonely pool or pond
E Am
And you'll always find a big, brass,
D
Broken bedstead by the bank
Bm E
There's one in every loch, or mere, or fen
Bm G
Don't think it's there by accident,
E F#
It's us you have to thank,
E F# Bm
The society of British bedstead men
G D
Oh, the hammer-ponds of Sussex
G D
And the mill-ponds of the west
G D Am D G
Are part of Britain's heritage, the part we love the best
G D
Every eel and fish and mill-pond
G D
Has a beauty all can share
G D Am D G
But not unless it's got a big, brass, broken bedstead there
F# Bm
So we filch them out of attics
F# Bm
We beg them from our friends
G D F#
We buy them up in auction lots with other odds and ends
Bm G
Then we drag them, 'cross the meadows,
D E
When the moon is in the sky,
Bm E F# Bm
So watch the wall, my darling, while the bedstead men go by
G D
