00:15And was ridrus
00:16Listen up, hear my oration
00:19In the cultural life of our five nations
00:22We've a treasure trove, and that's the truth
00:24In our little town, we da cool, ridrus
00:28Back at the crack of a Bronze Age day
00:31Out pulled ice, just past Combré
00:34Billy Treloar, tin stream of bold
00:37Ollers, hey my booties, I've struck gold
00:40We was trading metals when the world was young
00:44Thousands of miles in our Celtic tongue
00:47Says Billy Treloar, it's a little known truth
00:50The Bronze Age kicked off here
00:53In redrome
00:56In the age of saints, if things turn nasty
00:59It was time for Crust and a Cornish pasty
01:02Though his back was weak and his muscles puny
01:05Sharp as a tack, was our St Oony
01:08He asked Billy Treloar by the old high road
01:11To build him a ford where the Red River flowed
01:15Billy Treloar shares a medieval truth
01:18Traffic and trade ran right through redrome
01:21When Murdoch sat down for his cakey tea
01:24His house gas lit like a Christmas tree
01:27Billy Treloar had packed up streaming
01:30And was sinking a shaft for the engines steaming
01:34There was hard rock miners, shore to shore
01:37Copper and tin, rose Billy Treloar
01:41In the age of steam, to tell you the truth
01:44Richest square mile on earth
01:47Richer
01:50Out of the wreck
01:51Out of the wreck
01:52As the day sleeps by
01:53Solomon Dummies for a well-worked ride
01:55To cast a slide
01:57And her lifestyle sauna
01:59Can't match the heat
02:01Down hell for a corner
02:02Then evening fell
02:05And the bowels went scat
02:08And that, says Billy Treloar, was that
02:11No copper, no tin
02:13And the cold hard truth
02:15Dark times fell
02:17On old redruth
02:18No work, no jobs, no money, no cheer
02:22No joy, no shops, no pubs, no beer
02:25But the sun still climbs above Cornbrae
02:29Cracking off the lid of a brand new day
02:32Shall us have a geek what the future brings
02:34Cos the show ain't over
02:35Till the big maid sings
02:37Says Billy Treloar
02:39To tell you the truth
02:40We've got what it takes
02:42To heal redruth
02:434,000 years flashed by in a trice
02:47And we're drilling again
02:48Out to pull dice
02:50Billy's out crofty
02:51Banging the drum
02:53For critical minerals
02:55Tin and lithium
02:57What is the point
02:58Of a new day dawning
03:00With the great grim threat
03:02Of global warming
03:04Let's lead it on
03:05The inconvenient truth
03:08The future is green
03:09Dreams are redruth
03:11Recycle, repair, recreate, regrow
03:14The ladder, crogy, crescent kernel
03:18The butter market
03:20Indie shops
03:21Billy Treloar roars
03:23This town is tux
03:25So come my booties
03:27One and all
03:28Jump on board
03:29At our rallying call
03:31You know deep down
03:33I'm telling the truth
03:34About the treasure trove
03:36That is
03:37Redruth
