"A Little Dwarven Lass"
A well known drinking song and sea shanty amongst the Salt Dwarves following the trade winds, 'A Little Dwarven Lass' is a tongue in cheek reference to their tendency to fall in love too quickly given their shorter life spans outside the holds. Originally written ad lib by a visiting minstrel in a Dwarf hold, many of these mountain cities have laid claim as to their origins, and even more taverns besides. Even a human city has attempted to lay claim to the song, but the dwarves dismiss this as sheer stupidity. Used as often in the tavern as it is on the deck of a ship, the rhythm often helps the sailors synchronise their movements while performing tasks. Requiring a leader to chant the song, often their ship captain, the majority of the singers simply form the chorus. (PS Don't ever make me write a song again)
