The Weaving Song

[Verse 1]
I'm a weaver, a master weaver
I've got a loom where the best cloth's made
Plain cloth, twill, brocade or satin
I'm the master of my trade

[Chorus]
Shed the warp and swing the shuttle
Beat the reed, the weft is laid

[Verse 2]
I can wind a flying bobbin
I can warp a theme of thread
I can weave a sheet of linen
Fit to grace a royal bed

[Chorus]
Lift the heel and fly the shuttle
Swing the reed, the weft is laid

[Verse 3]
Hear the din of loom and shuttle
Weaving is a noisy trade
See how even, soft and gentle
Lies the cloth when it is made

[Outro]
Lies the cloth when it is made
