Words by Linda, Music by JE

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Turning the stone - turning the stone

Heart of the house you are turning the stone

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Song of the stone - sweeten the hour

shearing the harvest - and spinning the flour

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Corn that is new - hard to the tooth

hard on the stomach - as old age and youth

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Fruit of the field - cut by the knife

borne to the table - by maid and by wife

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Grain that is fine- gold in the ear

some for the cooking- and some for the beer

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Weaving the ale, braiding the bread

one for the body - and one for the head

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan

Wendath the stan - wendath the stan

heort of tha hus thu wendath tha stan
