Oh Knaeckebroed
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of "Oh Christmas Tree")
-
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
One side of you is holey
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
The other side is Flat
In Nordmark there's great pondering
On which side gets the buttering
In May they fight
To find who's right
The holey or flat siders.
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
With pomp and celebration
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
You split the Nordmark Nation
It's what a fighters looking for
This nobel reason for a war
We'll drink all night
All day we'll fight
As holey or flat siders.
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
What side of you would hit the floor?
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
To find out we'll go off to War
We'll fight in woods and in the field
We'll fight in towns and never yield
And by the night
We'll know who's Right
The Holey or Flat siders
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
Until next May we now know
Oh Knaeckebroed
Oh Knaeckebroed
Just where the Butter should go
|
(Holey Sider Version) Let all of Nordmark's people know It's on the Holes the butter goes The day is done The Holes have won Vivat the Holey siders |
(Flat Sider Version) Let all of Nordmark's people know It's on the Flat the butter goes The day is done The Flat side won Vivat for the flat siders |
