MILKING SONG ~ MARGUERITE MEDLEY
Music - Kate Power, Lyrics - Manx Gaelic translation
A mix of the obscure and centuries old songs, one a milking song in transitioning time between pagan and christian traditions in the Celtic regions. I found the translation for the milking song in a songbook and applied the melody that seemed to come from it. Marguerite seemed the perfect round for a medley of songs in a minor key.

Music: Kate Power / Marguerite: Traditional Give your milk, cow, give your milk Whilst I sing my song to you Let the milk churn fill and spill With your milk, my dear old cow Blessings of God I put upon you Father, Son and Holy Ghost And also Blessed Mary Give more milk, my cow Yours is good milk, fine and healthy From the butter there will be cream Do your best to give me plenty And your barley share you'll gain Blessings of God I put upon you Father, Son and Holy Ghost And also Blessed Mary Give more milk, my cow |
