A little present...

For those on my f-list who might be interested, here is the soundtrack to the film The Wicker Man.

Here's a lovely hobbity love song from this album:


Corn Rigs
by Paul Giovanni

It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are bonny.
Beneath the moon's unclouded light,
I held a while to Annie
The time went by with careless heed,
'til 'tween the late and early,
With small persuasion she agreed
to see me through the barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs and
corn rigs are bonny.
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie.

The sky was blue, the wind was still,
The moon was shining clearly.
I set her down with right good will
Among the rigs of barley.
I kenned her heart was all my own;
I loved her most sincerely.
I kissed her o'er and o'er again
Among the rigs of barley.

Corn rigs and barley rigs and
Corn rigs are bonny.
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie...

Another go!

And here's a wonderfully Tookish bawdy song, again from The Wicker Man soundtrack...


The Landlord's Daughter
by Paul Giovanni


Much has been said of the strumpets of yore
Of wenches and bawdy-house queens by the score
But I sing of a baggage that we all adore:
The Landlord's Daughter!

Oh her lips are as roses, her wine is a treat.
Her whiskey is good and her finger is neat.
And when she is stirring her bitters, she's sweet.
The Landlord's Daughter!

You'll never love another,
Although she's not the kind of girl
To take home to your mother!

Her ale it is lively and strong to the taste.
It is brewed with discretion and never with haste.
You can have all you want if you swear not to waste
The Landlord's Daughter!

And when her name is mentioned
The parts of every gentleman do stand up
At attention!

Now there's Jane of the Blossom and Moll of the Crown
Pretty Kate of the Garter and Starling in town
And Dolly who keeps the Red Heart of renown
But I'll take the Landlord's Daughter!

Oh, nothing can delight so
As does the part that lies between
Her left toe and her right toe!
