about

This song was written by our oldest sister and performed by both our sisters at campfires for years before we set it to guitar. It holds a special place in our hearts, and was the true beginning of Meg is Drunk.

lyrics

Take your hand from the ruddy hilt, now,
Take your hand from the sweaty crossbars,
And bring it home washed in sea salt
To rest it in hers

I have a lady’s honor
I have a lady’s pride
And you did swear by all your gods
To make me your bride
If you have forgotten
And loved another land
Than I shall forget, too
And marry another man

Your sister, she is weeping
She has no bravery
Your mother, she is dried eyed
But stares at the sea
My patience is waning
I have cut off my hair
And I’ve cut as much of your love
From my heart as I dare

Do you still wear the lady’s favor
I made of my hair?
Do you sleep away your nights
In another woman’s care?
Do you still wear the lady’s favor
I tied to your arm?
Are you safe lord?
Are you well lord?
Are you free from harm?

about

Meg Is Drunk Seattle, Washington

Sometimes siblings can get along for long enough to write songs. This is one of those situations. We play our music in parking lots, at fire circles, in peoples' back yards, and on beaches, or anywhere else we can.
