THE PRINCESS OF WESTER SION
(Dave Pedder)

You were the princess of Wester Sion,
who held out for Christmas when all hope was gone.
You lived in a castle on the bank of the Tay
and laboured for duty by night and by day.

CHORUS

Who pays the piper can pick out the tune
to drown out our dreams as the days pass along.
Who pays the piper to sing loud and true
to drown out the calls of the dancer
- the dancer for you.

END CHORUS

Tayside in summer, a magical place,
to be with you there brought a smile to my face.
I wanted a lover, you wanted a friend,
We danced 'till the Sun brought the dance to an end.

CHORUS

You now have your freedom, a new place to start,
no more nights of fear, in charge of your heart.
Remember the dancer who once came to stay,
who came when you called him, but then slipped away.

CHORUS

The song is in 3/4 time.
I've re-posted it to see if the formatting will now be better. If anyone is interested I can supply chords.
