My favorite song for bardic circle was always the "Plight of the Irish Lass"
*lol* I've never heard that one before! I love it! Now i just need the melody....
smile I will see what I can do....
Another song I love to sing!!!! is a Child Ballad that I sang with the chords and tune recorded in the text, but I am not to do it here in Caid because a truly gifted and under-appreciated bard named Thomas does his own version and has the most beutiful voice you ever heard. -- Pity it is the song of a grieving WOMAN!
The Unquiet Grave
Cold blows the wind to my true love,
And swiftly drops the rain.
I only have but one true love,
In greenwood he lies slain.
I'd do as much for my dear love,
as any young gel may
So I'll sit and morn upon his grave
for twelve month and a day!
When twelve month and a day were past
the ghost began to speak,
"Why sittest thou upon my grave
and will not let me sleep?"
There's one thing that I want my love,
there's but one thing that I crave,
that's a kiss from your lily white lips
and I'll go from your grave.
My lips they are but awfully cold.
My breath is mighty strong
If you should kiss my cold clay lips,
your days they won't be long.
Go fetch me water from a desert
or blood from out of stone,
Fetch me water from a young maid's breast
no man has ever known.
Twas down in Cupid's garden
where you and I did dwell
there the finest flower that ever bloomed
has withered to a straw -----[not my bad ryhme!]
The bloom is withered and dry my ove
and shan't be bright again.
When shall we meet again my love?
Ye ken it be in heaven.
