Lord Jornibret's Last Dance<br>
(Traditional)<br>
<br>
Women's Verse I:<br>
   Every winter season,<br>
   Except for the reason<br>
   Of one war or another<br>
   (Really quite a bother),<br>
   The Queen of Rimmen and her consort<br>
   Request their vassals come and cavort.<br>
   On each and every ball,<br>
   The first man at the Hall<br>
   Is Lord Ogin Jornibret of Gaer,<br>
   The Curse of all the Maidens Fair.<br>
<br>
   Women's Refrain:<br>
   Oh, dear ladies, beware.<br>
   Dearest, dearest ladies, take care.<br>
   Though he's a very handsome man,<br>
   If you dare to take his handsome hand,<br>
   The nasty little spell will be cast<br>
   And your first dance with him will be the last.<br>
<br>
Men's Verse I:<br>
   At this social event<br>
   Everyone who went<br>
   Knew the bows and stances<br>
   And steps to all the dances.<br>
   The Queen of Rimmen and her consort<br>
   Would order a trumpet's wild report,<br>
   And there could be no indecision<br>
   As the revelers took position.<br>
   The first dance only ladies, separate<br>
   Away from such men as Lord Jornibret.<br>
<br>
Men's Refrain:<br>
   Oh, dear fellows, explain.<br>
   Brothers, can you help make it plain:<br>
   The man's been doing this for years,<br>
   Leaving maidens fair in tears<br>
   Before the final tune's been blast.<br>
   And her first dance with him will be the last.<br>
<br>
Women's Verse II:<br>
   Lord Ogin Jornibret of Gaer<br>
   Watched the ladies dance on air<br>
   The loveliest in the realm.<br>
   A fellow in a ursine-hide helm<br>
   Said, "The Queen of Rimmen and her consort<br>
   Have put together quite a sport.<br>
   Which lady fair do you prefer?"<br>
   Lord Jornibret pointed, "Her.<br>
   See that bosom bob and weave.<br>
   Well-suited for me to love and leave."<br>
<br>
Women's Refrain.<br>
<br>
Men's Verse II:<br>
   The man in the mask of a bear<br>
   Had left the Lord of Gaer<br>
   Before the ladies' dance was ending.<br>
   Then a trumpet sounded, portending<br>
   That the Queen of Rimmen and her consort<br>
   Called for the men to come to court.<br>
   Disdainful, passing over all the rest,<br>
   Ogin approached she of bobbing breast.<br>
   She was rejected, saved a life of woe,<br>
   For a new maiden as fair as snow.<br>
<br>
Men's Refrain.<br>
<br>
Women's Verse III:<br>
   At the first note of the band,<br>
   The beauty took Ogin's hand.<br>
   She complimented his stately carriage<br>
   Dancing to the tune about the marriage<br>
   Of the Queen of Rimmen and her consort.<br>
   It is very difficult indeed to comport<br>
   With grace, neither falling nor flailing,<br>
   Wearing ornate hide and leather mailing,<br>
   Dancing light as the sweetest of dreams<br>
   Without a single squeak of the seams.<br>
<br>
Women's Refrain.<br>
<br>
<br>
Men's Verse III:<br>
   The rhythms rose and fell<br>
   No one dancing could excel<br>
   With masculine grace and syncopation,<br>
   Lord Jornibret even drew admiration<br>
   From the Queen of Rimmen and her consort.<br>
   Like a beauteous vessel pulling into port,<br>
   He silently slid, belying the leather's weight.<br>
   She whispered girlishly, "The hour is late,<br>
   But I've never seen such grace in hide armor."<br>
   It 'twas a pity he knew he had to harm her.<br>
<br>
Men's Refrain<br>
<br>
Women's Verse IV<br>
   The tune beat was furious<br>
   He began to be curious<br>
   Where had the maiden been sequest'ed.<br>
   "Before this dance was requested<br>
   By the consort and his Queen of Rimmen<br>
   I didn't see you dance with the women."<br>
   "My dress was torn as I came to the dance,"<br>
   She said smiling in a voice deep as a man's,<br>
   "My maids worked quickly to repair,<br>
   While I wore a suit of hide, a helm of a bear."<br>
<br>
Women's Refrain.<br>
<br>
-- End<br>
<br>
