Some lasses like the simple things in life, like a new fine piece of clothing. Here's a song from the latest Songburrow Strollers concert!
Best sung to the tune of Galway Shawl, here in a version by them grand hobbits in The Dubliners. Me own version of the song was first performed at the Songburrow Strollers concert in Hobbiton February 3rd 2013
Hobbit shawl
Ol' farmer Proudfoot He had many daughters But none so sweet As the youngest one Them lads came courting With the finest flowers But she just laughed She would have no-one
For she was dancing And now she was singing Her hair the colour Of the leaves of fall Her dress was common But upon her shoulders Her dearest garment An old yellow shawl
An early morning As the spring was coming She danced around When a lad came round A gift he gave her One that won her over A brand new shawl Yellow as the sun
Now they were dancing And now they were singing Their hair the colour Of the leaves of fall Her dress was common But upon her shoulders Her dearest garment A new yellow shawl Her dearest garment A new yellow shawl
