Song: The BagPipes Playedbr Lyrics: Randy McClavebr Poem: Music: AIbr br [Verse1]br We bowed our heads at the burial sitebr Then unto God we all wept and prayed,br We said our goodbyes both day and nightbr Then the bagpipes, they just played.br The piper piped his tune for the dead,br A better eulogy could not have been read.br [Verse2]br We stood and we cheered at our soldiers patrioticallybr As they all marched one by one in the parade,br We watched them all as the spiritual and the holybr Then the bagpipes, they just played.br Tunes were played for the peace keepers,br And we the watchers became the weepers.br [Verse3]br We began a new life together me and my matebr From each other we swore that we would not be swayed,br She became my wife without much of a debatebr Then the bagpipes, they just played.br The piper then piped his tune with our prayer,br Our pact and our tune was now forever in the air.br [Verse4]br We walked the Royal Mile in Edinburghbr As though we were on our own musically crusade,br The bagpiper there was proud and thoroughbr I gave him a pound, his bagpipes then played.
