Mbo says: Well folks, I'm going to be using this thread to post the lyrics to my songs on. As I make subsequent midis, I'll add the lyrics in. Here are the lyrics for the songs on the Mudcat Midi Site. THE GREEN AUTUMN STUBBLE Poem by Patrick Brown, Chorus by Matthew Richards (Mbo) When stubble-lands were greening, you came among the stooks And grace was in your feet then, and love was in your looks In your cheeks the rose grew redder, and your hair in clusters lay And I would we lived together, or together slipped away CHORUS: She strode the green autumn stubble, on that fatefull day And Oh! I thank the Lord above for bringing you my way It's true He hears His people's prayers, don't care what critics say For He surely answered mine, alright, when He crossed our paths that day! I had a dream on Wednesday, that bitter was the frost And I saw my love lamenting at dawn that I was lost Methought I came beside her and held her tenderly And all Erin I defied then to part my love and me My curse on him is spoken who keeps my love from me And swears that to our courting he never will agree For though skies should send the deluge or the snowy North it's flakes We two could live as pleasant as the swans upon the lakes The sea-gulls heart is merry when fish is in his beak And the eel within Lough Eyrne can swim from creek to creek And I spoke tripping Gaelic, and merry songs I've sung But now my wits are crazy and leaden is my tongue.
