about

Hello there… Now That I am on winter break from grad school I have had the opportunity to record this little number. I'm pretty sure you all know the tune. I tried to make it sound like early modern or middle English. I hope you all like it. Feel free to post constructive feedback. I like hearing from you guys and would like to get to know a little more about the people who listen to me. I have to thank Mommapause for helping sing it and Papplume for allowing me to use his paints and both of them for reviewing the lyrics. I'm hoping to have a more "Bluegrassy" sounding song soonish, so keep an eye out. Merry Christmas and a Happy Hearth's Warming to All!

DON'T PAY FOR THIS. I DON'T HAVE A PAYPALL. I DON'T OWN MLP. :)

lyrics

Be cheerful mares and gentlefolks
And rest yours labor dray
For once a year we all take time
And gladly mark the day
When empathy and friendship did
O'r petty strifeing stay

/chorus/ (For) friendship and rectitude to all
And kindness and grace
Warm Hearths to all and kindness and grace

In summit parlay gathered round
The sovereign three tribes blamed
In ire dwelt their trouble
And wintery feelings came
The food they stored was running out
Cold was there laying claim (to)

And so-to-a holler in-the mountainside
The disparate ponies came
Refuge from the icy storm
New land each came to claim
Where within they all were hid
Once chiefs frozen did exclaim

Now shall we sing songs of harmo-
ny within this realm,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other we all whelm
This day, apart, warm hearths and hearts
All other doth efface
