Captain Kidd
04:24

My name is William Kidd and I sailed and I sailed
They called me Captain Kidd and I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd and they sanctioned what I did
Then they double-crossed the bid as I sailed as I sailed
And they double-crossed the bid, as I sailed
It was Sarah that I wed 'for I sailed 'for I sailed
It was Sarah that I wed ‘for I sailed
Widow Sarah I did wed and no Pirate in her bed
Was a Privateer instead then I sailed then I sailed
Was a Privateer instead then I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd they sanctioned what I did
Then they double-crossed the bid as I sailed
And then mutiny began as I sailed, as I sailed
And then mutiny began as I sailed
When the mutiny was led hit the gunner on the head
Then William Moore was dead as I sailed as I sailed
Then William Moore was dead as I sailed
And on the Pirate sea then I sailed then I sailed
And on the Pirate sea then I sailed
And so a Pirate be the Adventure Prize for me
And on to the Caribee did we sail did we sail
And on to the Caribee did we sail
The winds of fortune changed as I sailed as I sailed
The winds of fortune changed as I sailed
A wanted man became Black Pirate on the main
So to Boston we did aim as I sailed as I sailed
So to Boston we did aim as I sailed
To London to be tried and we sailed and we sailed
To London to be tried and we sailed
To London for to hang and they did it once again
Since the rope it wasn't strong no it failed no it failed
And they had to hang me twice when it failed

Hangman

Hangman hold your rope and hold it for awhile
For I think I see my father coming over yonder stile
Father did you bring me gold or silver to pay my fee
And to save my body from the cold clay ground
And my neck from the Gallows Tree
No I didn't bring you gold nor have I brought any fee
For I have come to see you hang upon the Gallows Tree
Oh the Gallows Pole it grieves my heart full sore
And if I don't make the hangman's fee
I'll swing from the Gallows Tree
Hangman hold your rope and hold it for awhile
For I think I see my mother coming over yonder stile
Mother did you bring me gold or silver to pay my fee
And to save my body from the cold clay ground
And my neck from the Gallows Tree
No I didn't bring you gold nor have I brought any fee
For I have come to see you hang upon the Gallows Tree
Hangman stay your hand and stay it for awhile
For I think I see my true love coming riding many mile
Lover did you bring me gold or silver to pay my fee
Or have you come to see me hang from the Gallows Tree
Yes, I brought you gold and silver to pay your fee
For I could not bear to see you hang
from the Gallows Tree

Whoever You Are
04:10
|

Whoever you are
Is with you through the grave
Even though you want
To leave it or to save
Such mad things, you and I
Kings of a land unfurled
To think we leave the past
And walk on through the world
If only we can know
The layers of the self
We would never try to leave
Our youth upon a shelf
The who we know would fall
If built upon thin air
Throw the bones of a colored past
And move on when you’re there
Rich the treasure that we keep
And every day we've seen
Travels along upon the pass
Of what will be and has been

Per Spelmann han hadde ei einaste ku
Per Spelmann han hadde ei einaste ku
Han bytte bort kua fekk fela igjen
Han bytte bort kua fekk fela igjen
Du gode gamle fiolin, du fiolin, du fela mi
Per Spelman han spela og fela ho let
Så gutane dansa og jentene gret
Per Spelman han spela og fela va go
Så gutane dansa og jentene lo
Du gode gamle fiolin, du fiolin, du fela mi
Og om eg vart gammal som stein under bru
Så aldri eg byter bort fela for ku
Du gode gamle fiolin, du fiolin, du fela mi
Og om eg vert gammal som mose på tre
Så aldri eg byter bort fela for fe
Og om eg vart gammal som skorpe på graut
Så aldri eg byter bort fela for naut
Du gode gamle fiolin, du fiolin, du fela mi

Eppy Moray
05:34
|
|||
Four-and-twenty Highland men come from the Carron side
To carry away Eppy Moray for she would not be a bride, a bride
She would not be a bride
Then out came her mother for it was a moonlit night
She could not see her daughter for the moon it shone so bright, so bright
The moon it shone so bright
Hold away from me, mother, hold away from me!
There's not a man in all this land should married be with me, with me
Should married be with me
They've taken Eppy Moray, and a horse they've bound her on
And they had rid to a minister's house as fast as horse could run, could run
As fast as horse could run
Then Willie he's taken his pistol out and set it to the minister's breast
Oh marry me, marry me, minister, or else I'll be your priest, your priest
Or else I'll be your priest
Get away from me, Willie, get away from me!
I not avow to marry you unless she's willing as thee, as thee
Unless she's willing as thee
They've taken Eppy Moray then, she'd better could not be
And they have rid over Carron side as fast as horse could flee, could flee
As fast as horse could flee
Mass was sung and bells were rung and they were off to bed
And Willie and Eppy Moray, in one bed they were laid, were laid
In one bed they were laid
He's taken the sack from off his back and kicked away his shoes
And thrown away the chamber key, and naked he's lay down, lay down
And naked he's lay down
Get away from me, Willie, get away from me!
Before I lose my maidenhead I'll try my strength with thee, with thee
I'll try my strength with thee
He's kissed her on the lily breast and held her shoulders two
But aye she grat and aye she spat and turned to the wall, the wall
And turned to the wall
All through the night they wrestled there until the light of day
And Willie grat and Willie swat but he could not stretch her spey, her spey
He could not stretch her spey
Weary for you, Willie, then, for you could not prove a man
For if you gained her maidenhead, she would have held your hand, your hand
She would have held your hand
Go away from me, Lady, go away from me!
There's not a man in all this land shall married be with me, with me
Shall married be with me
Go fetch me a horse, and fetch it like a man
And send me back to my mother, a maiden as I came, I came
A maiden as I came
