[Intro] (harp, tin whistle, soft rain) Gather close by the fire And hear the tale of the Odd Folk Guild [Verse 1] Quillig is the sagescribe, with feathers made of leaves He writes down every whisper that drifts between the trees Blorphoon is the tidejester, a giggling bubbly clown He laughs in silly bubbles, then rains on all the town [Pre Chorus] (bodhran builds) Five little legends, strange and true Wandering the wild for me and you [Chorus] (tavern gang joins) Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Through the hills and valleys filled With magic, mischief, mist and stone No odd folk ever walks alone Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Every heart a story built Raise your mugs and sing along With the Odd Folk Guild's song [Verse 2] Throkopod the stonewarden, so grumpy, strong and old Built from ancient border stones and grudges he still holds Flummera the sighweaver, she floats upon the breeze She feeds on mist and melody and dances through the trees [Pre Chorus] Five little legends, strange and true Wandering the wild for me and you [Chorus] Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Through the hills and valleys filled With magic, mischief, mist and stone No odd folk ever walks alone Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Every heart a story built Raise your mugs and sing along With the Odd Folk Guild's song [Bridge] (spoons, hurdy gurdy, sneaky) Shh, who's that in the underbrush Gnawbin the roothoarder, scurrying in a rush Teeth and secrets, shiny dirt Stuffed in his pockets till his pockets hurt [Instrumental Jig] (fast fiddle style jig on tin whistle and hurdy gurdy) [Final Chorus] (full orchestral swell) Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Through the hills and valleys filled With magic, mischief, mist and stone No odd folk ever walks alone Hey ho, the Odd Folk Guild Every heart a story built Raise your mugs and sing along With the Odd Folk Guild's song [Outro] (harp and soft whisper) And Quillig wrote it all down The end
