Moira's Ballad

Moira's Ballad
Every so often, a musician will have to take a break from raucous drinking songs and cool the audience down. Moira's Ballad is one such song. While not as popular with sailors and stevedores, a moderately talented musician can use this song to make serving maidens swoon.

Lyrics
I knew a girl of beauty fair

And well she knew of me

With creamy skin and tawny hair

And eyes green as the sea

I knew her once, I held her close

The soft curve of her hips

Her skin so warm, and gentle breath

From wine red, ruby lips

But she is gone, and how I cry

A woeful, bitter sound

I held her once, but now she's held

By the cold and stony ground
