THIS SONG IS NOT COMEDY... (Forgive the redundancy of this notice, but I feet it is important, because the overwhelming majority of my material is comedy, to "warn" people that this is "serious" music.)
This is inspired by the vignette about Essie Tregowan written by Mr. Ibis. I wanted it to sound like a Celtic folk song, even going as far as introducing a lot of Cornish dialect into the lyrics.
lyrics
Tellundiddy Essie? Put some milk out fer the Piskies, put some Milk out fer the Piskies,
Ere they won't leave you alone.
Aaveeseenun, Essie? A Cousin Jack, your Cornishman? Green as a lick red as a Dane and come to take you home?
Matter do a' Essie, you were teazy asn adder, a wee heller, rough as rats and just as crafty as a fox,
Fra' bread and hair on standing stone, a proper villain ee es, dang'rous eyes and idle charms, and a child es come by chance.
Tellundiddy Essie? Put some milk out fer the Piskies, put some Milk out fer the Piskies,
Ere they won't leave you alone.
Aaveeseenun, Essie? A Cousin Jack, your Cornishman? Green as a lick red as a Dane and come to take you home?
Matter do a' Essie you were sentenced and transported, like a cat caught in a bonfire, you found yer way back home
Stare'en like a stuck't pig into dang'rous eyes, t'was some chase, Ye had to plead yer belly or be turned off by the rope...
Tellundiddy Essie? Put some milk out fer the Piskies, put some Milk out fer the Piskies,
Ere they won't leave you alone.
Aaveeseenun, Essie? A Cousin Jack, your Cornishman? Green as a lick red as a Dane and come to take you home?
Matter do a' Essie, ye've gone grey as a badger, and ye've got no spral left in ye, close yer eyes and jes call 'ome.
We've got no quarrel, Essie, though it's you what brung me here, ye've grown weak as a ranny, take my arm and let us go...
Tellundiddy Essie? Put some milk out fer the Piskies, put some Milk out fer the Piskies,
Ere they won't leave you alone.
Aaveeseenun, Essie? A Cousin Jack, your Cornishman? Green as a lick red as a Dane and come to take you home?
