I am getting a very religion creation story from this song. The first four lines give me that impretion.
"I'll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable
six golden apples bought with my pay.
I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune,
but I must be gone by the seventh day. "
-God gave us animals
-God gave us the land (vegetation and such)
-God was the beginning, the creator.
-On the seventh day he rested.
Also these next lines can be attributed to God.
"All kinds of sadness I've left behind me.
Many's the day when I have done wrong.
But I'll be yours for ever and ever. "
-In the Old Testament, God casted plagues, wiped out the world with flood, and helped the israelites battle foes.
-Also he calls the Hebrews his chosen people so the woman could be the people of israel whom he will give himself too.
Well those last lines im not really seeing any connection. He could be talking about heaven and how all will be revealed when you pass on. Who knows. There is my two cents. Use it as you will.
P.S And yea I hear, "I have fife, and Ive come to play" too.
