Won't you come and join me in my garden
We’ll sing quietly inside my garden
The sparrow sings to me inside my garden
My dogs are company inside my garden
Everything is green inside my garden
Everything is free inside inside my garden
Nothing is a weed inside my garden
Sepal, stamen,
style and stem
Brutal beauty,
Brutal fruit
May it stay June forever
May it stay forever June
Won't you come and join me in my garden
We’ll sit quietly inside my garden
The robins sing to me inside my garden
And also the chickadee inside my garden
Everything is green
Everything is free
Nothing is a weed
Everything is green
Everything is free
I savor solitude
Watching the tendrils
Twining towards the moon
Twining ever twining
May it stay June forever
May it stay forever June

January birds fly over
Twisting Shadows through the laurel
Starlings chatter outside my window
Clouds and cold, I gather wood
Something blue and grey and golden
Only holding to let go
Sky blue sky outside my window
It’s ok that we don’t know
Saw a night creature in the morning
She saw me and kept on walking
Pleasure gazing eye to eye
After all we live side by side
There’s soup on the stovetop
Water in your cup
We’re sitting down together now
Only sitting down to get up

Thread Song

I found a piece of silver thread
I followed it to where it led
I found a piece of golden floss
I followed it and I was lost
Stitch it once, stitch it true
Sewing up the sides of you
Fill the warp and pick the weft
Gathering up all that is left
I found a piece of bakers twine
I tied it up till you were mine
I tied a knot, I tied a bow
I answered yes I answered no
Pin the center, bind the sides
Twine together yours and mine
Find the needle find the eye
Thread it through to the other side
I found a door and went on through
the room was full of the thought you
I found a spindle I found a staf
I spun the yarn into a mask
Blue and green, green and blue
Measure out the weight of you
Green and blue, blue and green
Prettiest think I ever seen

Wagoner's Lad
05:37

Oh, hard is the fortune of all woman kind
She's always controlled, she's always confined
Controlled by her parents until she's a wife
A slave to her husband the rest of her life
Oh, I'm just a poor girl my fortune is sad
I've always been courted by the wagoner's lad
He's courted me daily, by night and by day
But now he is leaving to go on his way
My parents don't like him because he is poor
They say he's not worthy of entering my door
He works for a living, his money's his own
And if they don't like it they can leave him alone
Your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay
Then sit down beside me as long as you may
My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay
Then fare thee well darlin I'll be on my way
Your wagon needs greasing your whip is to mend
Then sit down beside me as long as you can
My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand
Then fare thee well darlin, no longer to stand

Annachie Gordon

Buchan, it's bonny, oh and there lives my love
My heart it lies on him, it will not remove
It will not remove for all that I have done
Oh never will I forget my love Annachie
For Annachie Gordon, oh he's bonny and he's braw
He'd entice any woman that ever him saw
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
Oh never will I forget my love Annachie
Down came her father, standing on the floor
Saying Jeanie you're trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
You must marry with Lord Salton and leave Young Annachie
For Annachie Gordon he's only but a man
Although he may be pretty but where are all his lands
Salton's lands are broad and his towers they stand high
You must marry with Lord Salton and forget Young Annachie
With Annachie Gordon oh I'd beg for my bread
Before that I'd marry Salton with gold to my head
With gold to my head and with gowns fringed to the knee
Oh I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
And you that are my parents oh to church you may me bring
Ah but unto Lord Salton Oh I'll never bear a son
A son or a daughter oh I'll never bow my knee
Oh, I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
When Jeanie was married and from church she was brought home
And she and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
Oh she's gone to a chamber and she's crying all alone
Come to bed now Jeanie, oh my honey and my sweet
For to style you my mistress it would not be meet
Oh it's mistress or Jeanie it's all the same to me
For it's in your bed Lord Salton I never shall be
And up and spoke her father and he's spoken with renown
All you who are her maidens won't you loosen off her gown
But she fell down in a swoon, so low down by their knees
Saying Look on for I'm dying for my love Annachie
The day that Jeanie married was the day that Jeanie died
That's the day that young Annachie come rolling from the tide
And Down came her maidens and they're wringing of their hands
Saying woe to you Annachie for staying from the sands
So long from the land and so long upon the flood
Oh they've married your Jeanie and now she is dead
All you that are her maidens won't you take me by the hand
Won't you lead me to the chamber that my love lies in
And he's kissed her cold lips until his heart turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber where his true love lay in
