In a day before cars and technology, a young woman is walking to the village. On the way, she meets a young man selling his wares.
lyrics
Fileigh
Verse 1:
Fileigh was walking to the village one day
When she met upon a man with goods to trade
His oratory was something she could not resist.
O Fileigh, watch out for this cunning linguist.
Chorus 1:
With his silver tongue and golden hair
He’s a cunning linguist. Oh, Fileigh, beware.
Verse 2:
His oral delivery was some of the best
His wares, poor Fileigh, must now possess.
With both hands, she grabbed, her possessions did grow.
The young man, he smiled, and says “Now, you owe.”
Chorus 2:
O Fileigh, she owes, oh Fileigh she owes
The cunning linguist, Fileigh, she owes.
Verse 3:
The man says, “Fileigh, we must agree on a price.”
Back and forth, they haggled, on into the night.
Until finally they reached a compromise
They settled on the price of 69.
Chorus 3:
O 69, O 69, Fileigh, she owes
O 69, O 69, the cunning linguist will go
