Westering Home to Tir Righ

Westering Home
Filk by Yasmina Laveroc

Chorus
Westering home, with a song in the air.
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care.
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there,
Land o' my heart, my own one.

Tell me of the kingdom of the East.
Speak of the riches and joys of Northsheild-
Aye but it's grand, those Ealdamere feast,
But I long to be home in Tir Righ.
chorus
I'll travel to Caid and bask in the sun,
Up through the West, An Tir is the one.
Artmisian Libraries won't hold me long,
For I long to be home in Tir Righ
chorus
Perhaps one day I'll go to see more,
Atenveldt, azure all decked out in or,
I'll watch the tourneys and Outland wars -
But I long to be home in Tir Righ.
Chorus
Where the folks of the coast out here in the west
Are cantie and couthie and kindly the best
Here I will hie me and here I will rest,
Home in my heart in Tir Righ

Chorus x2

Roll Your Leg Over ~ Everyone


 (The Guys Lines)

 If all the young ladies were little white rabbits
I'd be a hare and I'd teach 'em bad habits

If all the young ladies were sweet fruits and berries
I'd handle their melons and nibble their cherries

If all the young girls were like fish in a pool
I'd be a shark with a waterproof tool

If all the young girls were like cows in the pasture
I'd be a bull and fill them with rapture

If all the young girls were like mares in the stable
I'd be a stallion and show them I'm able

If all the young ladies were locks on a gate
I'd be a key and insert and rotate

I wish all the girls were like statues of Venus
I'd be a Greek with a petrified penis.

If all the young ladies were little red foxes
And I were a hunter I'd shoot up their boxes

If all the young girls were like trees in the forest
And I were a woodsman, I'd split their clitoris

If all the young girls were like telephone poles
I'd be a squirrel, stuff my nuts in their holes
(opt. I'd grab my red pecker to stick in their holes)

If all the young ladies were winds of the sea
I'd be a sail and I'd let them blow me

If all the young ladies were fish in the ocean,
I'd be a shark and I'd raise a commotion.

If all the young ladies were sheep in the clover,
I'd be a ram and I'm ram them all over.

If all the young ladies were birds in their nests
I'd be an egg and lie under their breasts

If all the young girls were like coals in the stoker
I'd be a fireman and shove in my poker


If all the young ladies belonged to the Horde
I'd be a yak herd and -never- be bored!

If all the young ladies were doors of stout wood
And I were a knocker I'd bang 'em up good

If all the young ladies were singing this song
It would be twice as bawdy, and six times as long!

If all them young ladies was wheels on a car,
Then I'd be the piston and go twice as far.

If all the young ladies were bats in a steeple
And I were a bat there'd be more bats than people

If all the young ladies were bells in a tower
And I were a sexton, I'd bang every hour

If all the young ladies were built like a shoe,
I'd be a foot and do what I could do.

If all the young girls were linear spaces,
And I were a vector, I'd aim for their bases.

If Lassies were wine glasses, and filled up with rum
A rub round the lips would make them all hum!

If all them young lassies were kittens with fur
I'd give all a good reason to pppuuurrr

If all of them lassies were statues of Venus,
I'd be equipped with a petrified penis.

I wish all the ladies was little white flowers,
And I was a bee, I’d suck them for hours

I wish all the ladies were moles in the grasses
And I were a mole, I’d smell the molasses

I wish all young lasses were like wine in a glass
Then I’d get so drunk, I’d fall on my ass





 Ladies Verses

 If all the young laddies were fine silks and laces
And I were an iron, I'd sit on their faces

I wish all the laddies were like pipes in the yard,
After I drained them they'd still remain hard.

If all the young laddies were coconuts sweet
I'd suck out their juices and chew on their meat

If all the young laddies were merry go rounds
I'd mount up and we'd go up and down

If all the young laddies were big wooden stairs
They'd go up mine and I'd go down theirs

If all the young laddies were bottles of beer
I'd give good head and they'd be of good cheer

If all the young laddies were cocks in the hay
I'd be a hen and I'd have a good lay

If all them young laddies were papier-mâché -able,
I'd have them, discard them; they’re biodegradable.

If all them young laddies were firemen bold,
I’d visit their station and slide down their pole.

If all of our laddies were skins of fine wine,
I’d go after yours once I’d finished off mine.
(You let me taste yours then I’ll let you taste mine)

If all them young laddies were flowers in the soil,
I’d water their roots; for long stems I would toil.

If laddies were washcloths with soap in my tub,
I’d lather all over and have a good scrub.

If all of them laddies would set down their mugs,
I’d quench all their thirsts with one taste from my jugs.

If all the young laddies were fire that scorches,
I’d be the flame and would heat up their torches.

If all them young laddies were puppies full grown,
I’d let them know where to bury their bone.

If all the young laddies were waves in the sea,
I’d stand on the shoreline and let them pound me.

For all those young laddies attempting to woo,
Your luck will improve if you bathe and shampoo
If all them young laddies were cones of ice cream
The was that I’d lick them just might seem obscene

To all the young laddies here's a word to the wise,
The lasses love tickling but what matters is size.

If all the young laddies were butchers so sweet,
I’d swing on their hooks and I’d pound on their meat

If all the young laddies had needles for dicks,
When they gets to sewin’, you should beware their pricks.

If all the young laddies were planets in space,
And I were a rocket, I’d land on their face

If laddies were sailing in channels quite thin
I’d be the lighthouse and guide them all in

If all the young laddies were singing this song,
It'd be over too quick and be half as long...

If all the young laddies were singing this dity
it'd be twice as long, but just half as witty

If all them young laddies was milk in a cup
And I were a kitten, I’d lick them all up

If all them young laddies were economy cars,
And I were the fuel, with me they’d go far.

If laddies were watches in shiny gold cases,
Then I’d be the hands and sit on their faces

If all them young laddies were sweets and hard candy,
I’d suck on a few when I’s feeling randy

If all them young laddies were airplanes in flight,
I’d be the hanger and hold them all night

If all them young laddies were grapes in the sun,
I’d grab a big bunch; squeeze their juice one by one.

If all them young laddies were bakers of pies,
And I were the bread yeast, I’d make them all rise

If all them young laddies were potters of clay,
I’d sit on their wheels and rotate all day

If laddies were barrels of whiskey rye
I’d turn on their spigots and drink them all dry.

If laddies were clouds all fluffy and gray,
I’d be the wind and I’d blow them all day.

If all them young laddies were whales in the sea,
I’d be a minnow and let them eat me.
If all them young laddies were needles and pins
And I were the cushion, I’d hold their pricks in

If laddies were chocolates in which to indulge
I’d reach for the ones with the largest bulge

If laddies were knights in search of romances
I’d bed the ones with the longest lances

If all them young laddies were ball swinging wreckers,
We’d all be impressed by the strength of their peckers

The Scotsman ~ Bryan Bowers & Seamus O'Kennedy


The Scotsman

Lyrics & Music: Bryan Bowers
Last 2 verses by Seamus O'Kennedy

A Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Now around that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one said to the other with a twinkle in her eye.
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt."
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
"I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt."

They crept up on the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
T'was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
T’was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment then one said "We must be gone.
Lets leave a present for our friend before we move along.
"For a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
Around the bonny star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled for the trees.
And behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he cries to what's before his eyes
"Ach, lad I don't know where ya' been, but I see ya' won first prize!"
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
"Ach, lad I don't know where ya' been, but I see ya' won first prize!"

Our Scottish friend, still clad in kilt continued down the street.
And he hadn't gone a mile before a girl he chanced to meet
She said "I heard what's under there, tell me is it so?"
He said "Just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know."
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
He said "Just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know."

She slipped her hand up under his kilt and much to her surprise
The Scotsman smiled and a very strange look came into his eyes.
She said "Oh, Sir, that's gruesome!" and then she heard him roar
"If you slip your hand up once again you'll find it's grew some more!"
Ring ding diddle iddle i dee o, ring di diddle di o
"If you slip your hand up once again you'll find it grew some more!


Thank you David for singing this to us >.<

Do Virgins Taste Better?~ R. Farren


Heard this at Sealion and had to find it for everyone who couldn't make it! >.<

DO VIRGINS TASTE BETTER?
(Also known as - An Old Cliché Revisited)
-R. Farran
(Tune: "The Irish Washerwoman")

A dragon has come to our village today.
We've asked him to leave, but he won't go away.
Now he's talked to our king and they worked out a deal.
No homes will he burn and no crops will he steal.

Now there is but one catch, we dislike it a bunch.
Twice a year he invites him a virgin to lunch.
Well, we've no other choice, so the deal we'll respect.
But we can't help but wonder and pause to reflect.

CHORUS: Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty, or sweeter, more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly?  Gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Now we'd like to be shed of you, and many have tried.
But no one can get thru your thick scaly hide.
We hope that some day, some brave knight will come by.
'Cause we can't wait around 'til you're too fat to fly.

Now you have such good taste in your women for sure,
They always are pretty, they always are pure.
But your notion of dining, it makes us all flinch,
For your favorite entree is barbecued wench.

CHORUS

Now we've found a solution, it works out so neat,
If you insist on nothing but virgins to eat.
No more will our number ever grow small,
We'll simply make sure there's no virgins at all!

CHORUS







 DRAGON'S RETORT
(C) 1985 by Claire Stephens
(Tune: "Irish Washerwoman")

Well, now I am a dragon please listen to me
For I'm misunderstood to a dreadful degree
This ecology needs me, and I know my place,
But I'm fighting extinction with all of my race

But I came to this village to better my health
Which is shockingly poor despite all my wealth
But I get no assistance and no sympathy,
Just impertinent questioning shouted at me.


CHORUS: Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not
But my favorite snack food with peril is fraught
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot
Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not

Now we worms are deep thinkers, at science we shine
And our world's complicated with every new line
We must quit all the things that we've done since the flood
Like lying on gold couches that poison our blood

Well I'm really quite good almost all of the year
Vegetarian ways are now mine out of fear
But a birthday needs sweets I'm sure you'll agree
And barbecued wench tastes like candy to me

CHORUS

As it happens our interests are almost the same
For I'm really quite skillful at managing game
If I messed with your men would your excess decline?
Of course not, the rest would just make better time

But the number of babies a woman can bear
Has a limit and that's why my pruning's done there
Yet an orphan's a sad sight, and so when I munch
I'm careful to take out only virgins for lunch.

CHORUS


The Apprentice's Lament~ Master Hector of the Black Height


The Apprentice's Lament
Master Hector of the Black Height

I served me a Laurel for many a year,
I carded much wool and I brewed skunky beer
But now there’s my Peer lying dead on the floor
And I never shall be an apprentice no more.

CHORUS:

And it’s no, nay, never (cite me a source!),
No, nay, never, no more shall I be an apprentice,
No never, no more.


My Laurel took me to a special event;
My last two years’ projects to judging were sent.
They asked me for documents, I told them nay,
“I’ve not tried to research since my high school days.”
And it’s no, nay, never…


I pulled out thick binders with copies to spare;
I showed them my primary source for yak hair.
I answered their questions with footnotes galore,
I boggled their minds and left jaws on the floor.
And it’s no, nay, never…


I won the Queen’s praises and took the first prize,
My Laurel said “WHAT?” and dropped dead from surprise.
So now I am free, with no Peer to inspire:
I hate to wash cars so I can’t be a squire
And it’s no, nay, never (cite me a source!),
No, nay, never, no more shall I be an apprentice,
No never, no more.

To the Tune The Wild Rover!

The Celt Came Back


The Celt came Back
Anonymous
Tune: The Cat came Back


Now one old King had troubles of his own,
He had a thick-skinned Bard that wouldn’t leave his home
He tried and he tried to send that Bard away
He sold him to a Dane going far, far away…

(Chorus)

But the Celt came back, the very next day
The Celt came back; they thought he was a goner
But the Celt came back, he just wouldn’t stay away!


The local Baron said that he would shoot that Celt on sight
So he loaded up his cannon with powder to the sight
He waited and he waited for that Bard to come around,
Itty-bitty pieces of the castle’s all they found…

He gave him to a Visigoth going out East
Saying “Sell him to the Mongols; feed him to a Beast!”
They got up to the channel, and they thought they’d get across
Tomorrow they’ll write off the ‘Goth as bein’ a total loss…






He gave him to a serf with a ten-shilling note
Take him out on the lake, take him on a boat!
They tied a rock around his neck; it must have weighed 10 stone
And now they drag the shoreline,  ‘cause the boat came back alone…

The sent him to the Borgia’s to have a little feast
Kill him off with poisoned wine, use cyanide at least
He drank several barrels of the poisoned wine that day
And now the Borgias have all…passed away….

He gave him to a Knight, to use him for a pell
Saying “Beat him smartly, I wanna hear him yell!”
The knight armored up, and sharpened up his sword
No one’s ever hear again of that Knightly lord…

*They gave him to a Pelican, to work him to the bone
Make him wash the dishes, never to come home
She chained him to the kitchen sink,  stacked him up real mean
The Pelican was ne’er seen again, but at least…the kitchen’s clean…

*He gave him to a Laurel, apprentice for to be
Teach him silent arts like Norse Calligraphy
Teaching him to read & write, she made her last mistake
Printing up his music was more than they could take….

The Worm Song ~ Taliesin


The Worm Song (High among the Heather)
By Taliesin, to the tune of The Blacksmith
Baroness Finn, Stowe on the Road, Kingdom of Lochac



A worm he met a lark, high among the heather
The lark said to the worm, “Let us talk together.”
And she sang so sweet and clear, with her voice so tender
And the lark she killed the worm, high among the heather.

The lark she met a hawk, of the shiny feather
The hawk said to the lark, “Let us fly together.”
And they flew so high on the wind, as they soared in splendor
And the hawk he killed the lark, high above the heather.

The hawk he met a fox, and he looked so clever
The fox said to the hawk, let us dine together
So the hawk flew down to the ground, as a bird should never
And the fox he killed the hawk, high among the heather.

The fox he met a man, with fine boots of leather
The man said to the fox, “Let us run together”
“You have fine fur.” Said the man, “Warm in cold weather.”
And he killed the fox as they ran, high among the heather.

The man he told a Thief of his trick so clever
“That is fine fur,” Said the Thief, “And fine boots of leather.”
And he killed the man, with his knife, there among the heather
And the worm said to the man, “Let us lie together”

And the worm said to the man, “Let us lie together”

Tale of the unheralded Herald ~ Justin Eiler


 Seems once there was a Herald
He’d stood too long in the sun.
He went to an SCA event
To have a little fun
Said Herald brought a guitar
With which he sang this rant
“Who says that Heralds cannot pun?
But they can only Cant!”

He found a quiet corner
Near a Bardic Circle’s beat.
He stood up in his great big boots
(And that was no small feat)
He played and sang most pun-ishly
And did so night and day
And yet with all his singing,
He did not shout “Oyez!”

His lyrics – they were lousy
His tune – well it was worse
His language was most vile and foul
And moreso every verse!
He kept up with his singing
Until the King’s Guard came
They told him “You must come with us
This in the Queen’s own name.”

They brought the punning Herald
To the Queen’s pavilion nigh
He bowed unto Her Majesty
And saw wrath in Her eye.
She said, “You do offend me
With the verses that you sing.
Go ye, and pun nevermore
Or from a yardarm swing.”

The sweating Herald left her
And his heart was beating fast.
He was wont to make more jokes
But his next, it was his Last!
The Guard said, “If you want to live
No more of the songs you sang.”
The he said, “No noose is good news….”
And smiling he was hanged!

Coridon's Song ~ Old English Songs and Other Sources.


This was found in Mrs. Dufners book on old english poetry. I found some music for it to and in looks like a fun one. 


Coridons Song

 

the sweet contentment 
'The countryman doth find ! 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
That quiet contemplation 
Posesseth all my mind; 
Then care away, 
And wend along with me.

For Courts are full of flattery 
As hath too oft been tried; 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
'The city full of wantonness, 
And both are full of pride : 
'Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

But oh ! the honest countryman 
Speaks truly from his heart ; 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
His pride is in his tillage, 
His horses and his cart ; 
'Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

Our clothing is good sheep-skins, 
Grey russet for our wives ; 
Heigh trolollie lollie he, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
'Tis warmth, and not gay clothing, 
'That doth prolong our lives ; 
Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

The ploughman, though he labour hard, 
Yet on the holy-day, 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
No emperor so merrily 
Doth pass his time away ; 
'Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

'To recompense our tillage, 
The heavens afford us showers ; 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
And for our sweet refreshments 
The earth affords us bowers ; 
Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

'The cuckoo and the nightingale 
Full merrily do sing, 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
And with their pleasant roundelays 
Bid welcome to the spring ; 
Then care away, 
And wend along with me. 

is not half the happiness 
The countryman enjoys ; 
Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 
Heigh trolollie lollie lee. 
Though others think they have as much, 
Yet he that says so lies ; 
Then come away, turn 
Countryman with me.

Arm to Arm ~ Lady Yasmina Laveroc

Along the cost,
Lions Gate jest,
and cast their calls
out to the west.
Across the waves
are An Tirs Best
Seagirt is marching
arm to arm
to Breast!

We'll march out strong
out from our nest,
Journey East,
each on our quest,
take no prisoners
arrest
seagirt is marching
arm to arm
To Breast!

They won't suspect
we can attest
to muscled men
all stood abreast
and graceful ladies,
supple corsets!
seagirt is marching
arm to arm
to Breast!

We've come to fight
with such finess
become champion
wars conquest.
the mainland we
sure will infest
seagirt is marching
arm to arm
to Breast!

Violet Bides ~ Patrick Rothfuss & Yasmina Laveroc

One warm summers day
she stands on the shore
and watches her sweetheart
and the ship the he boards
he tells her he love her
he'll return to her side
and all the while
Violet Bides

Violet grew up lovely
her hair a soft gold
and men came to court her
the young and the old
but violet remembers
her love and she cries
and all the while
Violet bides

The seasons continued
she walks on the beach
counting the hours
counting each sleep
she dreams for her love
forget him, she tries
and all the while
Violet bides

The years pass without him
one, then another
and Violet looks longingly
out on the harbour
her friends are all married
each a blushing bride
and all the while
Violet bides

The ship limped to harbor
all that remained
were sails familiar
of a warm summers day
grim faces she knew
but none were her pride
and all the while
Violet bides

She sits at her window
she sips at her tea
she waits for her love
to return from the sea
her suitors come calling
she watches the tides
and all the while
Violet bides.

You Can't Swing a Broadsword When You're in the Forest

This is not a seagirt song, but it was so funny and wonderfully done that I couldn't help add it here for everyone to see!

Black Widows in the Privy ~ Heather Jones

Everyone knows someone we'd be better off without
But best not mention names 'cause we don't know who's about
But why commit a murder and risk the fires of hell
When black widows in the privy can do it just as well?


Now poison's good, and daggers, and arrows in the back,
And if you're really desperate you can try a front attack
But are they really worthy of the risk of being caught
When black widows in the privy need not be bribed or bought?


So if there's one of whom you wish most simply to be rid
Just wait till dark and point the way to where the widow's hid
And say to them 'I think you'll find that this one is the best'
And black widows in the privy will gladly do the rest!


I do not own the license to this music or song

An Tir Evermore ~ Aliena Searover

I have walked 'cross the stones
that make up the Knowne World's bones
Sailed on her waters to Lochac's far shore;
The things I have seen all the places that I've been
All I can say is "An Tir Evermore!"

chorus
From Three Mountains' harbour to the Oerthan border
From far Borealis to Seagirt's rocky shores (Yee Hay)
With Pendale and Appledore, Adiantum, Curragh Mor
All I can say is "An Tir Evermore!"

Ithras show us the way, that our skills, then, we may display,
Banquets and feast give a taste of the past
And we'll fight bloody wars to the strains of a troubadour,
Whatever we do, we are never outclassed.

Chorus

Now An Tir is our land, there's no other that's half as grand;
Not the Midrealms, Trimaris, The Outlands, Caid.
With our Peers by our side, and the people who are our pride
"We Stand Together", our call and our creed.

Chorus






I do not own the rights to this song or these lyrics.

The Lyre's Lifting Sound ~ Yasmina Laveroc (Jaz)

Just beneath the brembel bush,
a napping there I lay
all fain up with brembel fruit
the berries ripe and gay

When through the glen,
o're the whistlin wind
I heard what fancy found
and all the woods and whiles did share
the lyre's lifting sound

Nay I not known for fitting work
and thus was I lay down
but come the bards sure beaten note
E'en I'll turn from the ground.

When through the glen
o're whistlin wind
I heard what fancy found
and all the woods and whiles did share
the lyre's lifting sound!

So to my feet I skipped and sprang
to dance a merry jig,
make my way through underbush,
not bared by shifting sprig.

when through the glen
o're whistlin wind
I heard what fancy found
and all the woods and whiles did share
the lyre's lifting sound!

For all that listen soft and sweet
and all that listen dear
the timely tune by yonder nook
can't help but call you near

For when through the glen
o're whistlin wind
I heard what fancy found
and all the woods and whiles did share
the lyre's lifting sound!

Music lovers draw ye close
so sway yon harden'd heart
for all the beast's of Seagirt say
We have the greatest bards!


Come by the Hills ~ Buachaill ón Eirne

Buachaill ón Eirne mé's bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg 
Né iarfainn bó spré léithe tá mé saibhir go leor 'S liom 
Corcaigh a mhéid e , dhá thaobh a ghleanna's Tír Eoghain 
'S mur n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oibhr ar Chontae 
Mhaigh Eo

[English translation:]
I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young girl, 
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself, 
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone, 
And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo.)

Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free.
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea,
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun;
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.

Come by the hills to the land where life is a song.
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long,
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.

Come by the hills to the land where legend remains.
The stories of old, fill the heart and may yet come again,
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
