Hi said the Norn, sittin in the sand
|
||
|
||
once I talked to a great Grey Man
|
||
|
||
spun three times and said with a sigh
|
||
|
||
"Hadn't been for the Runes had his other eye!"
|
||
|

||
Chorus: hi diddle i diddle i day
|

|
||
hi diddle i diddle i diddle ay
|
||

||
hi di diddle i diddle i day
|
||
|
||
fol the dink a dum diddle do di day

||
Hi said the Lady, dressed in green
|
||
|
||
prettiest thing I've ever seen
|
||
|
||
she went down underneath the hill
|
||
|
||
and came back out of her own free will
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Brian Boru, on Irish ground
|
||
|
||
walked three times the Island round
|
||
|
||
Norsemen came lookin for a fight
|
||
|
||
just another Irish Saturday night!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hi said Lugh on the banquest night
|
||
|
||
a poet and a player and a good wheelwright
|
||
|
||
a harper and a warrior and none the least:
|
||
|
||
a Druid and he got in to the Feast!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Harold Haardrada's face was red!
|
||
|
||
Came to Britain and he wound up dead
|
||
|
||
Stamford Bridge is where he's found
|
||
|
||
got six feet of English ground
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
the Legion with it's Eagles bright
|
||
|
||
marched into the Pictish night
|
||
|
||
met them there upon the sand
|
||
|
||
gave em up to the Wicker Man!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
eight-legged steed and hound of Hel
|
||
|
||
the one-eyed Man, he loves ya well
|
||
|
||
fire burn and fire spark
|
||
|
||
are you then feared of the dark?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Circle forms, the Circle flows
|
||
|
||
the Circle goes where no man knows
|
||
|
||
Hail to the Lady, one in three:
|
||
|
||
Present is Past and Past is Me!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Rhiannon's Birds are still in flight
|
||
|
||
all thru the Day all thru the Night
|
||
|
||
Hail to the Lady, one in Three
|
||
|
||
Present is Past and Past is Thee!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hi said the Lady dressed in white
|
||
|
||
sang the Day and sang the Night
|
||
|
||
sang the Land and sang the Sea
|
||
|
||
sang the Song, and then sang Me! (extra verses:)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Salt and oil and mirror bright
|
||
|
||
fire and fleet and candlelight
|
||
|
||
by fin and feather, leaf and tree,
|
||
|
||
fill the cup and blessed be!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
From the misty crystal sea
|
||
|
||
came the Lady to the lea
|
||
|
||
Sword and Roses in Her Hand
|
||
|
||
spread their seeds thruout the Land
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Came the Stag from oaken wood
|
||
|
||
saw the Lady where she stood
|
||
|
||
by the fire burning bright
|
||
|
||
came to know his heart's delight! (end of extra verses)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
By Sword and Harp, and Irish Hound
|
||
|
||
Blessed Be: the Day I've found
|
||
|
||
Hail to the Lady, one in Three
|
||
|
||
Present is Past and Past is WE
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
By Oak and Ash and Holy Thorn
|
||
|
||
blessed be the Day you're born!
|
||
|
||
Fire burn and fire bright
|
||
|
||
walk in safety thru the night
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
