Scene: A Village

BLACKBIRD sings to Innkeeper's pretty daughter.

Kione jiarg, kione jiarg,     
Apyrn doo, Apyrn doo,     
Vel oo cheet? Vel oo cheet?     
Skee fieau, skee fieau,     
Lhondoo, Lhondoo.

Red head, red head,     
Black apron, black apron,     
Are you coming? Are you coming?     
Tired waiting, tired waiting,     
Blackbird, Blackbird.
