Love and de-light
-5 -4 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 3
When true sim-plic-i-ty is gained
-3 -4 -4 4 -5

We shan’t be a-shamed

A traditional folk song for the Christmas season and beyond that
sounds very nice on harmonica. This version doesn’t exactly mesh with
the words, but it sounds very nice intrumental. I included the lyrics
for anyone who is interested.

-5 5 -4 -4 -4 -5 5 -4 4 4

‘Tis the gift to be simple,
’tis the gift to be free,
’tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.

Refrain:
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
‘Til by turning, turning we come round right

‘Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return,
‘Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn,
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day,
Then we’ll all live together and we’ll all learn to say,

Refrain:

‘Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be,
‘Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of «me»,
And when we hear what others really think and really feel,
Then we’ll all live together with a love that is real.

Don’t sing love songs,

you’ll wake my moth-er
-6 7 -7* 8
She’s sleep-ing here
-9 8 -7* 7
right by my side
7 -7 -7* -7* -7*
And in her right hand
7 -6 7 -5 5
a sil-ver dag-ger,
-55 -3* -7* 7
She says that I
-6 -5 -5 5
can’t be your bride.

All men are false, says my mother,
They’ll tell you wicked, lovin’ lies.
The very next evening, they’ll court another,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

My daddy is a handsome devil
He’s got a chain five miles long,
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he’s loved and wronged.

Go court another tender maiden,
And hope that she will be your wife,
For I’ve been warned, and I’ve decided
To sleep alone all of my life.

Don’t sing love songs,
7-8 -9 9 9
you’ll wake my moth-er
-10 9 -9 -8 7
She’s sleep-ing here
7 -8 -9 9

All men are false, says my mother,

And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he’s loved and wronged.

Go court another tender maiden,
And hope that she will be your wife,
For I’ve been warned, and I’ve decided
To sleep alone all of my life.

British folk song
Joan Baez
Key: C

6 6 -7 -6-5 -5 6-6 6
An earth-ly nurse sits and sings,
-7 -7 -7 7 -6 -6 7 -7
And aye she sings by li-ly wean,
-7 7 7 8 -8 -7 -6 7 -7
«And Lit-tle ken I my bairn’s fath-er,
-7 -6 5 5 5 -5 6 6
Far less the land where he dwells in.»

For he’s come one night to her bed’s foot
And a grumly guest I’m sure he’d be,
Saying, «Here am I, thy bairn’s father,
Although I be not comely.

«I am a man upon the land,
I am a silkie in the sea,
And when I’m far and far from land,
My home it is the sule skerrie.»

And he has ta’en a purse of gold,
And he had placed it upon her knee,
Saying, «Give to me my little young son
And take thee up thy nurse’s fee.

«And I will come one summer’s day
When the sun shine’s bright on every stane,
I’ll come and fetch my little young son,
And teach him how to swim the faem.

«And ye shall marry a gunner bold,
And a right fine gunner I’m sure he’ll be,
And the very first shot that ever he shoots
Will kill both my young son and me.»

Scottish folk song from the Orkney Islands
Key: D

-3 -5 -6* 6 5 5 6 -5
The silk-ie be a crea-ture strange
-6*-6* -6* 7 6 6 7 -6*
He ris-es from the sea to change
7 7 -8 -7 -6* 6 7 -6*
In-to a man, a weird one he,
-6* 6 -4 -4 -4 5 5* -5
Whose home it is in Skule Sker-rie.

When he be man, he takes a wife,
When he be beast, he takes her life.
Ladies, beware of him who be —
A silkie come from Skule Skerrie.

His love they willingly accept,
But after they have loved and slept,
Who is the monster that they see?
‘Tis «Silkie» come from Skule Skerrie.

A maiden from the Orkney Isles,
A target for his charm, his smiles,
Eager for love, no fool was she,
She knew the secret of Skule Skerrie.

And so, while Silkie kissed the lass,
She rubbed his neck with Orkney grass,
This had the magic power, you see —
To slay the beast from Skule Skerrie.
