As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung.

I cannot control them, just gift them. | As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung.

I am the camp mom with breakfast on time

I am the Duchess, the Countess, the Queen
I am the Baron and Baroness, too
And I am the newest of new
- CHORUS
I am the archer who's fletchings are true
I am the dyer of indigo blue
I have a toddler in his very first cloak

I am the potter who's working in clay

I am the painter in every bright hue

Notes
Additional verses are welcome. Please feel free to write your own personal verses, household verses, lines for your Barony or Shire, for your friends, for yourselves. Please also feel free to add them here, and the authors (if you choose).
As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung. But of course, songs shift and grow once they've gone out there. I cannot control them, just gift them. Sincerely, Dame Eilidh Swann
