Maiden of the Rainbow Lyrics

Fairest daughter of Northland sat upon the bow of heaven

In an gold and silver air gown wearing webs of beauty

Minstrel rushing down the highway lift his eyes in wonder

Beautiful maiden of the rainbow fair maiden I wish you by my side

You should bake me honey biscuit

Brew my beer and fill my cup

Sing beside my table

Laugh happily at the window pane

Bright and warm are days of summer warmer still in maiden freedom

Cold is iron in the winter as the life of a married women

I will go with the one only when he golden hair can split

Using knives that has no edges peeled the rounded sandstone

Make me a ship from the splinter

Set the little ship a floating

Using not the knee to push it

Using not the arm to move it

Using not the hand touch it

Using not the foot to turn it

Using nothing to propel it

Nothing at all

Works one day and then a second on the evening of the third day

Evil grasps the hatchet pierce the flesh of the minstrel

Gusher forth a bloodstream minstrel begin his magic singing

Gathers lichens from the sandstones, moss within the marshes

It was all unsuccessful

Travel to a Northland village

Where the way is triple parted

First road there was a boy he said there is no one here

Second road there was an angry woman she said there is no one here

Third road there was an old man said the causes of the iron

Is there no one in this cottage that can knew the pain I suffer

That can heal the wound of the hatchet that can check this crimson streamlet

Near the fireplace sat an old man

Greater things have been accomplished

Three words of the master

Through the telling of the causes

The causes of the iron

The causes of the iron

The origin of the iron

The origin of the iron
