Song: The BagPipes Played<br />Lyrics: Randy McClave<br />Poem: https://allpoetry.com/poem/12804809-The-BagPipes-Played-by-Randy-McClave<br />Music: AI<br /><br />[Verse1]<br />We bowed our heads at the burial site<br />Then unto God we all wept and prayed,<br />We said our goodbyes both day and night<br />Then the bagpipes, they just played.<br />The piper piped his tune for the dead,<br />A better eulogy could not have been read.<br />[Verse2]<br />We stood and we cheered at our soldiers patriotically<br />As they all marched one by one in the parade,<br />We watched them all as the spiritual and the holy<br />Then the bagpipes, they just played.<br />Tunes were played for the peace keepers,<br />And we the watchers became the weepers.<br />[Verse3]<br />We began a new life together me and my mate<br />From each other we swore that we would not be swayed,<br />She became my wife without much of a debate<br />Then the bagpipes, they just played.<br />The piper then piped his tune with our prayer,<br />Our pact and our tune was now forever in the air.<br />[Verse4]<br />We walked the Royal Mile in Edinburgh<br />As though we were on our own musically crusade,<br />The bagpiper there was proud and thorough<br />I gave him a pound, his bagpipes then played.<br />I then thought of the jealousy of the moon,<br />As it cannot see the bagpiper playing his tune
