CassiusD Brigit the slave child Who wrote that song and where might I find someone who knows the tune ? I'd much like to add it to my bard-in-a-book (written lyrics, for I've not a mind for words). The writer is listed at the top of the song, Karen Unrein Kahan. As for where you might find someone who knows the tune, I know of at least one person who knows it, she camps with Rockhaven at Warriors and Warlords every year. That's still a ways off but if it's an event you go to you could ask at the bardic circle there. Other then her, if you bring the lyrics to bardic circles at other events you may find someone who knows it, I'm not sure. I guess I'm not really the person to ask about songs, I'm just trying to learn this one because I really like it.
Ahh, Mistress Wyndreth writes some very good songs. Her apprentice, Ingus, does her Berserker Song really well, and Savage Daughter is a classic. if you want more info, try www.savagedaughter.com

Too lazy to see if this has been posted already...
Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl (as "original version" as I know...)
Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern And they decided to And they decided to And they decided to Have another flagon!
Chorus: Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over For tonight we'll merry, merry be For tonight we'll merry, merry be For tonight we'll merry, merry be Tomorrow we'll be sober!
Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober (2x) He falls as the leaves do fall (3x) He'll die before October
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow (2x) He lives as he ought to live (3x) For he's a jolly good fellow
Here's to the lass who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother (2x) She's a very foolish girl (3x) For she'll not steal another
Here's to the girl who steals a kiss and stays to steal another (2x) She's a boon to all mankind (3x) For she'll soon be a mother
Here's to Phillip, King of Spain, a monarch fine and able (2x) See his shining, golden plate (3x) On Francis Drake's new table! (we replace Francis Drake with "Captain Connor"--this verse is easy to modify to fit your group, especially pirates or people who hate the Spanish)
Here's to Phillip, King of Spain, beneith his golden crown (2x) See his proud and mighty fleet (3x) All fifty fathoms down
that's all the verses I can find... but I'm sure there are more.
Also, there's Nelson's Blood. This song is generally improvised, and can be as dirty--or as clean--as you want. Households often have special lines that they do all the time. I know mine does...
Though it has its own tune, Nelson's Blood can be sung to the tune of Drunken Sailor if you don't know it.
Nelson's Blood
Oh, a drop of nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm Oh, a drop of nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm Oh, a drop of nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm And we'll all hang on behind
Chorus: And we'll roll the old chariot along We'll roll the old chariot along We'll roll the old chariot along And we'll all hang on behind
It continues like this with "drop of nelson's blood" replaced with... anything! "a roll in the hay," "another swig of rum," "a date with your mom," "a plate of Irish stew" or anything pleasant.

Oh, the Ballad of Pennsic IV! heart I feel that I should share this, because one of the recordings of it has some misinformation imbedded into the song, and though the artist has been corrected, the CD is fairly popular. In (Moonwulf) Micheal Longcor's recording of The Ballad Of Pennsic IV, he tells the story of how Duke Aanghais Dubh McTaurgh (pronouced Angus) got stuck in the mud. All verisions of the story that I've heard agree that Angus was hit with such force that he fell back against a sapling, which rather than breaking, snapped back and launched Aanghais face-first into the infamous mud. Aanghais, who in a time of freon helmets was wearing a pig-faced bassient, found himself stuck, unable to push himself up, for his arms would also get stuck, and seeing the water filter in through his eye slots and approach his face. Here's where the stories differ. Moonwulf, who didn't witness this particular fight; spent many years telling of how two burly squires took him by the shoulders and pulled him out of the mud. In his defense, I understand that did happen at a later event in Meridies. But it didn't happen at Pennsic IV. Earl sir Ælfwine, my dear departed father; who was at Pennsic on his honeymoon; told the story like this. Ælfwine, seeing his dear friend in distress, lying in the mud in danger of drowning, ran up and "broke the suction with his foot". Aanghais says Ælfwine kicked him in the head.
And as for the beehive, it was in fact, also kicked. You see, at that time, Anchos ap Annlaudd could get away with going into battle wearing a helmet, blue speedos, a kidney belt, and woad. It seems neither the marshels nor the ladies minded. So he did. As he was tromping through the woods battle, he came across a beehive full of rather angry insects, and as he was more or less bare he freaked out and made the intellegent choice to get it the hell away from him. I have no conclusive evidence whether or not that was into a crowd of oncoming midrealmers or not.
