Background
In his early career Coates wrote many songs. Most have long been forgotten, but the best of them, written before his success as an orchestral composer, linger in the repertoire of some singers: 'I Pitch My Lonely Caravan' (1921), 'Birdsongs at Eventide' (1926), 'Stonecracker John' (1909), 'A Dinder Courtship' (1912) and 'The Green Hills o' Somerset' (1916), the last three just some of the 32 he composed with lyrics by the prolific lawyer-poet Fred E Weatherly.
