Darkness hangin' in the sky in the morn

Moonlight dyin' as the sun is reborn

Crops are swayin' in an island of green

Hemp and teff and corn in between

CHORUS:

Cut her low, swing her 'round

Iron wire, tightly bound

Thresh the teff by the mornin' lark

Lie in her arms in the still of dark

Laddie are ya workin'?

Sunlight shinin' on the heart of the land

Crops are bendin' to the part Nature planned

Who'd be thinkin' that they'd end from that start

Cut and rent and shredded apart?

Storm clouds gather as the hands to the field

Raindrops scatter as the land's made to yield

Body separate from its fine golden head

Stalk and sheaf and chafe for a bed

Stars are twinklin' and the moon's risin' high

Dark is waitin' for the sunlight to die

Memories harken to the Emerald Isle

Sing and sleep and dream for a while

FINAL CHORUS:

Cut us low, swing us 'round

Iron shackles, tightly bound

Thresh your soul by the mornin' lark

Lie with your dreams in the dead of dark

Laddie, are ya' workin'?

+dragonkingofthestars Not by far the least edible, and i think some species produce fruit. (Not certain on this) I've eaten the small shoots and they tasted like grass.

you know,now that i think about it's ironic you picked bambo (likely the least edible plant on this planet) for the back ground picture. thanks for posting the world is lesser for a lack of knowledge of this kind of music.

You probably are. To me it sounds like a few hundred years ago when people would get up early and work in the field all day, adult and child alike.

So I've heard. Maybe it speaks to my O'Rielly blood then but it still reminds me of the deep south either way.

@VarangianCelt I guess that would explain the teff.

@VarangianCelt The book it is based on is also good.

Blue, it was written for another series.... Betsy, it's actually a work song, sung by Irish slaves on Moorish plantations, in an alternate history. The album is WELL worth getting.

It sounds like... standing in a field at the beginning of a thunderstorm. The cool and clean scent of rain, but the heated, charged feel of the electricity. Like being rocked to sleep by the thunder and jolted awake by the lightning. That's what I hear in this song. Maybe I'm crazier than I thought.

@water14789 I'm from South Carolina originally and it reminds me of the old plantations back home. Charleston is so full of history that you can taste it on the breeze.

no matter how many times i hear this song, it never fails to paint me a picture of magic and the southern america before the war. the feeling of voodoo, mysteries and the rythm goes straight to my heart perhaps it's silly of me, though...

This is such an amazing post-Change song that I'm amazed S.M. Stirling hasn't appropriated it yet.
