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

|

|

|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
