I Love Caid, I Am Caid

written at Estrella War, 2009 by Eilidh Swann

The Original Verses

I am the brewer, the maker of meads
I am the horseman, the keeper of steeds
I am the pikeman who's holding the line
I am the camp mom with breakfast on time

CHORUS
I love, I love Caid (3x)
I am, I am Caid

I am the Duke, I'm the Count, I'm the King
I am the Duches, 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
And I'm just an old pirate bloke
CHORUS

I am the writer, the teller of deeds
I am the artisan working in beads
I am the potter who's working in clay
And I am the constable working all day...and night
CHORUS

I am the swordsman with steel sharp and bright
I am the dancer who shimmies all night
I am the bartender filling your beer
And I make my enemies fear
CHORUS

I am the seamstress with beautiful clothes
I'm the commander with fighters in rows
I am the painter in every bright hue
And I'm not exactly like you
CHORUS

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
