Dramatis Personae:
Mim: Six Virgins
Sue: Thomas/Jesus
Sophie: Mary

lyrics

All under the leaves, and the leaves of life
I met with virgins seven
and one of them was Mary mild
Our Lord's best mother in Heaven.

Oh what are you seeking, you seven pretty maids
All under the leaves of life?
Oh we're not seeking for leaves, Thomas
but for a friend of thine.

Go down, go down to yonder town
and sit in the gallery
and there you'll find sweet Jesus Christ
nailed to a wide yew tree.

So down they went into yonder town
as fast as the foot could fall,
and many's the bitter and grievous tear
from the virgins' eyes did fall.

Oh peace, oh peace, oh peace, mother,
your weeping does me grieve,
oh, I must suffer this, he said,
for Adam and for Eve.

Oh how can I my weeping leave,
my sorrows undergo,
while I do see my own son die,
and sons I have no more?

Then he laid his head on his left shoulder
seeing death it struck him nigh,
May the Lord have mercy on this poor soul,
sweet mother, now I die.

Oh the rose, the gentle rose,
the fennel that grows so strong,
Amen, good Lord, your charity
is the ending of my song.

Triangle England, UK

To say we are “an all-female, three piece a cappella band” identifies us, but does not describe us. Our themes mostly revolve around beer, religion, politics and things that go bump in the night - in no particular order. And we don't just stand there in a row singing, either; we act the songs out as melodies switch from one line to another. ... more
