Subject: RE: Songs re 'Balance', please!
if you mean sort of a life balance, I can think of none better than the Miller of the Dee. Great bouncy tune..the king asks the miller why he is so happy and he says "I love my work says he. I love my wife I love my friends I love my children three. I owe no man I can not pay I thank the River Dee that turns the mill that grinds the flour that feeds my babes and me."

oh yes..and how about "long life and success to the farmer" with the" Jill King" tune.   I have woods I have bowers, I have fields I have flowers and the sun is my only alarmer...so good people now here is God speed the plow, and long life and success to the farmer.
