Favourite Redwall Song

[Dotti]

My personal favorite is one from Outcast of Redwall where it's talking about how Sunflash's fame spread throughout all the land.  I also like the one from the Bellmaker where Finbarr sings about the lobster that married a cod.  Glad I'm not the only one that makes up tunes to Redwall songs. 
Her's the one from Outcast:
I met with three weasels one warm summer night
And I feared for my life I'd be beaten and slain
But their faces were fearful all ashen with fright
And they jibbered and whimpered like they were insane
"Oh save us preserve us, oh hide us from him,
the one with the mark of the sun on his face!
In one paw he carries a great hornbeam limb!
He's the warrior lord they call Sunflash the Mace!"
Of a sudden the earth seemed to tremble and shake,
and the verminous weasels passed out in a swoon
As he came like the wind with a hawk in his wake
There he stood strong and tall 'neath the moon
I'll never forget what he told me that night as he looked at the weasels stretched out where they fell
"You're a very brave beast to down six in one fight.
For a small baby doormouse, you've done very well!"

I also love the one in Rakkety Tam. The "Slumber On" one. I don't know all the word though, and I'm too lazy to run up to my bedroom to grab the book and look it up.

Old places I travelled long seasons ago
Kind faces of friends I have seen
What's round the river bend, dear, I don't know
Tis a land where my heart's never been.
Will I sit in the shade of.....( something, something...typing this from the audiobook and can't quite hear. XD)
If I gaze in the stream may I see
there standing beside me the one that I love
or sad and alone must I be
The tears I have shed here are mingled and gone
through waters which flow without end
And I must drift ever seeking that one
Waiting there on some far river bend

From Taggerung. Loooooove this song to itty bitty pieces.

Just found this song as I was flicking through my Redwall books, which I often do. It's from my favourite book, Outcast of Redwall.

"I once 'ad a cattypillar come t'live with me,
We was both best of friends as ever there c'd be,
He'd wiggle round upon the ground, he'd smile an' shake me paw,
An' every time I went out, stop in an' guard my door.
But then one time when I returned I cried out "Lack a day!"
My little cattypillar he had left an' gone away,
An' there upon my mantlepiece, a butterfly I saw,
Far too proud to speak to me, he flew right out the door.
Coloured bright in warm sunlight, that creature winged away,
I've never found my cattypillar to this very day,
Which makes me say unto myself, now I am old and wise,
I do like cattypillars, but I can't stand butterflies!"

[Nightfire]

I always liked this song by Gonff:

"Ho fuzz buzz buzz, look who's a-buzzin'
Good day sir bee, I'm Gonff your cuzzin'. "

It's a classic!

I looked up that lyric for you, it's "Will I sit in the shade of tall willows above". I LOVE the lyrics to this song, I want to hear the tune.

I must say I'm rather fond of this one from The Rogue Crew:

"O there's blood on the axe,
an' there's blood on the shield,
an' blood on te swordblade, too.
An' if yore a foe of our Rogue Crew,
there'll be blood all over you!
Blood blood! Blood blood-"

I think it's quite a nice little ditty, pity the Long Patrol interrupted it.

I'd have to say the Buck and Digg's duet.. that would have to be my fave!

Aha! That's what it was. Thanks!

I'll have to find a way to put this song on youtube or something, it has a beautiful melody... kind of what you'd expect an old celt song to sound like.


Shinella: AGREED! AGREED! That song is great, and I could always picture them dancing around to it. XD

ROGUE CREW SPOILER!!!
What about the one they sang at Swiffo's funeral? That was a really nice one.
