A tough song about Mother Riddle's shameless life and the judgment upon it. As usual, every surface is polished to a clear musical finish.

Love, love it. So well done. My kind of story song.

Do you remember the good old days when music really stuck to you for a life feeling? You connected a certain song to a special person or part of your life when you experienced being in love for the first time or something similarly great! This is the type of feeling you can connect to this song...summer vibes, having a great time with your friends, you community...here in particular the Mallorca Community who is in love with the island and with life. So, enjoy the song and tell me what you think? No, forget that! Tell me what you feel when you hear the song! ;) OneLove, Kaye-Ree

Epic folk shanty. Pure invention though notorious press gangs did exist. My lyrics, Clive's music and vocals. Copyright 2024 Jay Rich and Clive Pett. Lyrics below:

   Ma Riddle And The Blind Beggar

V1:

I'll tell you a tale, happened in the Blind Beggar:
A tavern once property of Mother Riddle
They say that this witch was in league with the devil
So crooked and stooping her decrepit figure

V2:

Her prey were young men who at her expense supped:
She'd fill them with drink while providing a room
Meantime the press gangs, finding them in their cups
Would spirit them off by the light of the moon

*****Mini-break*****

V3:

And Old Mother Riddle would pile up her gains:
Her excuse being dupes always take the King's shilling
The truth was that it had been slipped their drunk way
With no single wight (man) able-bodied or willing

Ch1:

Away, away, how she cast them away
And sadly it lasted for many a day
Away, away, wretched men met their end
At the hands of a rogue masquerading as a friend

*****Break1*****

V4:

And so would continue this inhumane scam
Until one dark day at her bar would present
A young and bold stranger, a smart, sober man
And fate took a turn, as Ma Riddle soon learned

V5:

This stranger was different, his blue gaze direct:
Ma fell to mute silence, her old heart aquiver
Requesting no victuals (food), he stood and assessed
Her discomfited face, then declared her a sinner

*****Mini-break*****

V6:

My father, said he, at not quite nineteen years
Is from a sunk warship long lost to the depths
It's taken a lifetime of grieving and tears
To see his betrayer pay off her old debts

Ch2:

Away, away, how she cast them away
And it would last for so many a day
Away, away, those drowned men met their end
At the hands of a scoundrel who posed as a friend

*****Break2*****

Bridge:

Old Mother Riddle
She played a mean fiddle🎻
Though not the sort sweet music would make
Her greed was her downfall
But she'd lose it all
And scheme herself into a premature grave

*****Mini-break*****

V7:

Well Mother Riddle she pleaded and bargained
With the young stranger so grimly resolved:
He said though you're old, your grave sins bring no pardon:
Your only hope is to pray for your soul

V8:

It's my intention to show you the snow
So give me your gold and the deeds to your home
Then you'll go forth so the deep winter cold
Freezes your skin and creeps through your old bones

*****Mini-break*****

V9:

And call yourself blessed for to keep your bright eyes:
This bleak season will get all your damnable kind
Though tempting it is to deprive you of sight:
Render you like this tavern: cursed and beggar blind

Ch3:

Away, away, how he cast her away
Whence she could never come back again
Away, away, how she met a bad end
At the hands of a nemesis that fate would send

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All 40 listed hugely varied songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2024. There are also a number of concept video links in the describe your track section, plus many more songs unposted due to SC's free page limitations. I also have a truly massive backlog of lyrics constantly being added to, with influences too many to list. This being so, feel free to hit me up for collaborations (I write both to and without music) but be aware I only write for fun and challenge; I'm no industry wannabe and never plan to be.

Finally, please do not 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It won't be reciprocated and I will block you. The prima donnas here are tedious and you know who you are. Ditto the bots that 'like' a track the instant it's uploaded. Soundcloud, you need to do a better clean-up job here, please take note... Overall though thanks for a very useful and generally friendly platform.👍
