topics apparent in traditional christmas carols that have Strangely Disappeared from modern canon:
the devil
the lord of this manor better give us booze or weโll burn his house Down
alternatively, give us some cash
this plant is Red like the blood of Childbirth
i was wooed in the sheep field
what up, itโs the Devil again
goods or tuppence may be exchanged for a viewing of this wren weโve killed
SWORD DANCE TUNES
we sing in thanks of the maidservant who let the mob into the lairdโs home
dancing is a sin but do you think iโm gonna stop
unlikely
the apple crop better be good or next year itโll grow fertilized with your blood
the winter is cruel but the laird is crueler
the church is also cruel
itโs lucky to give us money. in this case, the luck is not getting stabbed
really there are so many bangers
