about

A sassy jaunt based on the story of 'Rhiannon' in the ancient Welsh mythological story of 'The Mabinogi'.'

lyrics

He was riding on his big black horse
in hot pursuit of the woman of his dreams
but the faster he rode the further away
this mysterious creature seemed
she was ambling just cruising along
on her trusty pale grey pony
he couldn’t understand how she could get away
so fast he was the best rider in all the land
oh Rhiannon why don’t you slow down for me?
I just don’t understand
how you do the things you do how long must I pursue you?
I just want to take your hand
he kept on riding striving ahead for little did he know
that Rhiannon was not of this world
she could transform herself into a flock of beautiful
black birds
yeh Rhiannon why won’t you slow down for me?
I cannot keep up with your elusive pace
please Rhiannon won’t you turn around for me
I just want to catch a little glimpse of your sweet gentle face
suddenly Rhiannon appeared and gazed into his soul
she said “I’m glad you finally asked me
you see my little pony doesn’t like being hunted.
the night is closing in,” she said, “come sit down beside me
beneath this willow tree.”
and she offered him her hand and he brushed it with his lips
and the rest is buried in legend
oh Rhiannon don’t you slow down for me
I just don’t understand
how you do the things you do, how long must I pursue you?
I just want to take your hand Rhiannon
Rhiannon (why don’t you slow down girl) Rhiannon
(I cannot keep up with you) Rhiannon, Rhiannon….
la da da da da da da da
