The Hokey Pokey Charity Compilation

Circle Dance

THE MAY DAY PSALTER

Give me simple for my pleasure
Charity for my success
Give me wisdom in misfortune
Heart's ease for my distress

Women boast or make me tremble
Women mock or make me weep
Give me veils to cover over
Secrets that my heart may keep

Sharpen up my axe to shatter
King, tyrant, fool or fake
Let me love to over flowing
Flooding till my banks do break
Wash me like a rock in the river
Cover up my tracks with rain
Move me like a wave on the ocean
Risen once never rise again

All songs by Richard Thompson except where noted.
