<pre><font size='+2'>THE DANCING OF THE LORD OF WEIR lyrics ROBIN WILLIAMSON</font><br>By Robin Williamson<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Robin Williamson: Chanter, bironne, chinese flute, jew`s harp, bazooki, gong and vocal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the third part of the year<br />
<br />
when men begin to gather fuel against the<br />
<br />
coming cold<br />
<br />
hear hoover ring hard on frosty ground<br />
<br />
begins our song<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
for centuries we lived alone high on the moors<br />
<br />
herding the deer for milk and cheese for leather<br />
<br />
and horn<br />
<br />
humans came seldom nigh<br />
<br />
for we with our spells held them at bay<br />
<br />
and they with gifts of wine and grain did<br />
<br />
honour us<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
returning at evening from the great mountains<br />
<br />
out red hoods ring with bells lightly we run<br />
<br />
until before our own green hill<br />
<br />
there we did stand<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
she is stolen <br />
<br />
she is snatched away<br />
<br />
through watery meads straying our lovely<br />
<br />
daughter<br />
<br />
she of the wild eyes<br />
<br />
she of the wild hair<br />
<br />
snatched up to the saddle of the lord of Weir<br />
<br />
who has his castle high upon a crag<br />
<br />
a league away<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
upon the horse of air at once we rode<br />
<br />
to where Weir`s castle lifts like a crippled claw<br />
<br />
into the moon<br />
<br />
and taking form of minstrels brightly clad<br />
<br />
we paced upon white ponies to the gate <br />
<br />
and rang thereon<br />
<br />
"we come to sing unto my lord of Weir<br />
<br />
a merry song."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
into his sorry hall we stepped<br />
<br />
where was our daughter bound near his chair<br />
<br />
"come play a measure!"<br />
<br />
"sir at once we will!"<br />
<br />
and we began to sing and play<br />
<br />
to lightly dance in rings and faster turn<br />
<br />
no man within that hall could keep his seat<br />
<br />
but needs must dance and leap<br />
<br />
against his will<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
this was the way we danced them to the door<br />
<br />
and sent them on their way into the world<br />
<br />
where they will leap amain<br />
<br />
till they think one kind thought<br />
<br />
for all I know they may be dancing still<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
while we returned with our own<br />
<br />
into our hall<br />
<br />
and entering in<br />
<br />
made fast<br />
<br />
the grassy door.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_dancing_of_the_lord_of_weir_lyrics-robin_williamson.html" target='_blank'>THE DANCING OF THE LORD OF WEIR lyrics ROBIN WILLIAMSON</a></pre>

By Robin Williamson

Robin Williamson: Chanter, bironne, chinese flute, jew`s harp, bazooki, gong and vocal.

In the third part of the year

when men begin to gather fuel against the

coming cold

hear hoover ring hard on frosty ground

begins our song

for centuries we lived alone high on the moors

herding the deer for milk and cheese for leather

and horn

humans came seldom nigh

for we with our spells held them at bay

and they with gifts of wine and grain did

honour us

returning at evening from the great mountains

out red hoods ring with bells lightly we run

until before our own green hill

there we did stand

she is stolen

she is snatched away

through watery meads straying our lovely

daughter

she of the wild eyes

she of the wild hair

snatched up to the saddle of the lord of Weir

who has his castle high upon a crag

a league away

upon the horse of air at once we rode

to where Weir`s castle lifts like a crippled claw

into the moon

and taking form of minstrels brightly clad

we paced upon white ponies to the gate

and rang thereon

"we come to sing unto my lord of Weir

a merry song."

into his sorry hall we stepped

where was our daughter bound near his chair

"come play a measure!"

"sir at once we will!"

and we began to sing and play

to lightly dance in rings and faster turn

no man within that hall could keep his seat

but needs must dance and leap

against his will

this was the way we danced them to the door

and sent them on their way into the world

where they will leap amain

till they think one kind thought

for all I know they may be dancing still

while we returned with our own

into our hall

and entering in

made fast

the grassy door.
