The Blackberry Jig

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain beats on the stone wall
We gather in the hall
Peat smoke fills the warm air
Shake out your damp hair
Stout mugs foam with white lace
Warmth shines on every face
My scuffed leather shoes tap
Fiddle fills the wide gap
[Pre-Chorus]
Old Seamus made a boast
Across the rocky coast
He claims he has the best stride
I stepped up with some pride
[Chorus]
Spin round on the pine floor
The wooden flute plays sweet
He cannot match me anymore
I fly on nimble feet
A jar of sweet black jam
I won the prize tonight
He knows how glad I am
Under the tavern light
[Verse]
His eyes are bright and blue
He laughs and bows anew
The salt is on his sleeve
He does not want to leave
He offers me his hand
The finest in the land
We share a golden toast
Beside the wild coast
[Pre-Chorus]
Old Seamus made a boast
Across the rocky coast
He claims he has the best stride
I stepped up with some pride
[Chorus]
Spin round on the pine floor
The wooden flute plays sweet
He cannot match me anymore
I fly on nimble feet
A jar of sweet black jam
I won the prize tonight
He knows how glad I am
Under the tavern light
[Break]
[Bridge]
The rain begins to clear
I hold my partner near
The jar is in my pack
We walk the muddy track
A smile upon his face
We match our steady pace
[Chorus]
Spin round on the pine floor
The wooden flute plays sweet
He cannot match me anymore
I fly on nimble feet
A jar of sweet black jam
I won the prize tonight
He knows how glad I am
Under the tavern light
[Post-Chorus]
The music starts to fade
A brand new promise made
We walk into the night
Our hearts are feeling light
[Outro]
