Woolen Warriors

By Katrusha the Skomorokh

Written as a call and answer waulking song based on waulking songs of Ireland.
Written specifically for a class taught by Siobhan on wool waulking.

Music is a traditional waulking tune. Harmony is for the answer refrain.

We come here from near and far

We are the woolen warriors

Boldly forth we go to war

We are the woolen warriors

Fingers calloused from each stitch

We are the woolen warriors

All the wool that makes us itch

We are the woolen warriors

Looms that clack out like a fight

We are the woolen warriors

We shall clothe your strongest knight

We are the woolen warriors

Here's our wool, we waulk with pride

We are the woolen warriors

And we work it side by side

We are the woolen warriors

We will fight here with our pin

We are the woolen warriors

We will stay strong till we win

We are the woolen warriors

We will make your banner fly

We are the woolen warriors

Rise and watch as we pass by

We are the woolen warriors

We come here from near and far

We are the woolen warriors

Boldly forth we go to war

We are the woolen warriors

We will fight here with our pin

We are the woolen warriors

We will stay strong till we win

We are the woolen warriors
