Join Our Song


John Inchingham            


Join our song, BARDIC SISTERS, it’s time to take your place.
Proudly step onto the road Ioseph* traced.
Walk with us.  Let a joyful noise be raised.
Everybody sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!

Join our song, BARDIC BROTHERS, it’s time to take your place.
Proudly step onto the road Ioseph* traced.
Walk with us.  Let a joyful noise be raised.
Everybody sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!

Many are the Bards who before us have journeyed.
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
The milestones are marked with the names of the worthy:
(Sing out!  Sing out!)

Ioseph* of Locksley and Frederick of Holland;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
TSivia and Dorigen, Moonwulf and Morgana;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
Baldwin of Erebor and Charles of Dublin;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
Yang the Nauseating, Conn MacNiell and John ap Wynne;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)

Willow and Iolo and Robin and Brendan;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
Hector, Andrixos and Erich and Hyram;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
Jehan, Cariodoc, Ivar, Emil and Owen;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
El of the Two Knives and Mikal the Ram.
(Sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!)

Join our song, BARDIC CHILDREN, it’s time to take your place.
Proudly step onto the road Ioseph* traced.
Walk with us.  Let a joyful noise be raised.
Everybody sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!

There are those who think we’re all just a little bit wild
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
And bardic is a red-haired bastard step-child;
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
But we recite the sagas and we retell the stories
(Sing out!  Sing out!)
And we sing the songs of woe and of romance and glory.
(Sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!)

Join our song, EVERYBODY, it’s time to take your place.
Proudly step onto the road Ioseph* traced.
Walk with us.  Let a joyful noise be raised.
Everybody sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!
Everybody sing out!  Sing out!  Sing out!


* Iospeh's name should be three syllables,
pronounced EYE-OH-SEPH. We discovered we'd
been mispronouncing it well after the song had been
recorded.
