By yon bonnie banks And by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright On Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love where ever want to be
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.
-- Chorus
Oh ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland before you,
But me and my ture love shall never meet again
by the Bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.
'twas there that we parted In yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side O' Ben Lomon'
Where in purple hue The highland hills we view
And the morn shines out Frae the gloamin'
| Note: A haunting celtic traditional tune.
There have been many interpretations of the song, here is the one I find most likely:
The story is of two Scottish soldiers who were captured while fighting for Bonnie Prince Charles in Carlisle as part of the Jacobite uprising to put the Stuarts back on the throne in 1745.
The Soldier singing, the one who will take the Low road, will be walking the Paths of the Dead, since he is to be executed, and the olther soldier is to be released to walk home.

"Alexander & Aarcher"
Pagans sing, are you listenin',
Altar's set, candles glisten,
It's a Magickal night, we're having tonight,
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland
Blades held high, censer smoking,
God and Goddess, we're invoking,
Through Elements Five, we celebrate life,
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland,

SHARE THE LIGHT
(The First Noel)
CHORUS: Share the light, share the light!
Share the light, share the Light!
All paths are one on this holy night!
On this Winter holiday, let us stop and recall
That this season is holy to one and to all.
Unto some a Son is born, unto us comes a Sun,
And we know, if they don't that all paths are one.
Be it Chanukah or Yule, Christmas time or Solstice night,
All celebrate the eternal light.
Lighted tree or burning log, Or eight candle flames.
All gods are one god, whatever their names.
| | Note: There is a little printer Icon on the bottom right of the story (on the home page) - If you click it, you get a printable version of the story - go ahead, it'll give you more Pagan Fun for your Yule Celeberations. And Laughter, Joy and Merriment brings back the sun after all!

When I was a young girl I used to like boys,
I fondled their tights and played with their toys,
But me boy friend ran off with a salesman named Bruce,
You'd never get treatment like that from a Moose!
CHORUS: So it's Moose, Moose, I like a Moose,
I've never had anything quite like a Moose,
I've had many lovers, my life has been loose,
But I've never had anything quite like a Moose!
| | Note: In honor of Rowan - now that she's in Alaska, there's plenty of opportunities for a Moose!

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning, we come round right.
| | Note: Since So much Of "Lord of the Dance" was based on the tune for this song, I' thought the lyrics for it would be good Too!

When She danced on the water and the wind was Her horn
The Lady laughed and everything was born
And when She lit the sun and the light gave Him birth
The Lord of the Dance first appeared on the Earth.
Chorus:
Dance, dance, where ever you may be
For I am the Lord of the Dance," said He
and I'll live in you, if you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the Dance," said He
| | Note: Original Lord of the Dance lyrics were by Sydney Carter, sung to the traditional shaker hymn "Simple Gifts". the Neopagan version (sung to a modified version of the same tune) are credited to Aidan Kelly, C. Taliesin Edwards, and Ann Cass; The first four verses were written by Kelly and Edwards, four more by Ann Cass in 1975-6, and the four seasonal verses by Ann Cass in 1976. Gwydion recorded a shorter version the song, with variant lyrics, on his "Songs Of The Old Religion"

We had a chicken, no eggs would it lay.
We had a chicken, no eggs would it lay.
My wife said, "Honey, we're losing money, And that ain't funny." No eggs would it lay.
One day a rooster came in our yard
And caught that chicken right off its guard.
It's laying eggs now, just like it used to
Ever since that rooster came in our yard.
It's laying eggs now, just like it used to
Ever since that rooster came in our yard.
| | Note: for this song to work, you need LOTS of sound effects from the audience - Z zoooming when the Rooster arraives, "Moo" when the cow is mentioned, some sort of noise for each animal, I also suggest some sort of "surprise" noise when the rooster Catches each thing. make the surprise noise suggest the item being "Caught"

Bring me some whiskey, mother
I'm feeling frisky, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
I need a lover, mother
No, not my brother, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
Gerbils don't make it, mother
They just can't take it, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
Owls, bats and other critters
Just tend to give me jitters
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
| | Note: this is from my SCA Days, rowan sings it a little differently

In the cool of the evening, they used to gather, 'neath stars in the meadow, circled near an old oak tree.
At the times appointed by the seasons of the Earth, and the phases of the moon.
In the center of them stood a woman, equal with the others, and respected for her worth.
One of the many we call the Witches, the teachers and the keepers of the wisdom of the Earth
The people grew through the knowledge she gave them, herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole.
Hear them chanting healing incantations, calling forth the Wise Ones, celebrating in dance and song
