Kofi Young - Shrove Tuesday (Lyrics)

|Shrove (𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 = 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦) Tuesday is a Christian day of confession and absolution and the day before Ash Wednesday↓. It’s custom to eat pancakes and other sweets on Shrove Tuesday. Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer and fasting and the first day of Lent, a fasting/penitence period of about six weeks in which a “Lenten sacrifice“ is made (a pleasure/luxury one gives up during Lent). The last verse of this song is taken from the English ballad “Long Lankin“ (or “Lamkin“), | Buy this song on bandcamp:
