kalika and strums softly, her voice rising and falling in clean, sweet tones in accompaniment to the lyrics**
Wooed by a Master handsome not true
The fair lady got herself into a stew
Wanting to come home but so ashamed
She stayed in that place to whence she came
**girl walks about, the chorus erupts with a vigorous beat and she slaps the kalika’s strings, encouraging slaves and Free to clap along and sing.**
Whoa Ho Master Kasak would not give up
Whoa Ho He searched from dawn til sup
For She was His love, so true and so fine
For She’d soon be home forever this time
**The beat slows, the home becomes quiet and she strings softly once again.**
He gathered the Free of His clan
He gathered the bold and brave of the land
With fury and grit and half of Gor in tow
The Ubar’s Men attacked much to GreyWing’s woe
*The music gains momentum once more and she smacks the instrument in rapid succession*
Whoa Ho Master Kasak would not give up
Whoa Ho He searched from dawn til sup
For She was His love, so true and so fine
For She’d soon be home forever this time
*The girl draws out the last syllable and the music decelerates.*
Dishonor to those who steal His heart
And slaughter to those who had a part
Brave were the Free of His homestone
Bearing wounds with One placed in a tomb
*The chorus erupts, with feisty lyrics and pounding feet*
Whoa Ho Master Kasak would not give up
Whoa Ho He searched from dawn til sup
For She was His love, so true and so fine
For She’d soon be home forever this time
*Delicate fingers flutter over the kalika’s fine strings. The girl’s tone becomes hushed, melodious.*
Oh what joy and peace Master Kasak feels
The moment Mistress Felicia at His feet kneels
He chains her quickly and securely to His side
Never again would she slip away like the tide
**By now, the chorus becomes an exuberant frenzy.**
Whoa Ho Master Kasak would not give up
Whoa Ho He searched from dawn til sup
For She was His love, so true and so fine
For She’d soon be home forever this time
**Tears soften the depths of the girl’s gaze as the ensuing flow becomes soft as a whispering wind.**
All in the home see the wonder of love
All know The Two are blessed from above
This slave brings her ballad to an end
Knowing happily that any heart can mend
**In a finale of hand clapping, feet stomping and exuberant song, the chorus chimes once more**
Whoa Ho Master Kasak would not give up
Whoa Ho He searched from dawn til sup
For She was His love, so true and so fine
For She’d soon be home forever this time
THE END
