    Wade (folklore)

    Wade (from the Old English Wada), is the English name for a common Germanic mythological character who, depending on location, is also known as Vadi (Norse) and Wate (Middle High German).

    Overview

    The earliest mention occurs in the Old English poem Widsith. According to the Þiðrekssaga, he was born between king Vilkinus and a mermaid. His famous son is Wayland, and grandson Wudga. Though not explicitly given as such, Egil and Slagfin may be Wade's sons, since they are Wayland's brothers according to the Poetic Edda.

    The medieval English romance about Wade once existed, for Chaucer alluded to the "Tale of Wade" in one of his works, Troilus and Criseyde and used the phrase "Wade's boat" (Middle English: Wades boot), meaning some sort of trickery, in The Merchant's Tale. The tale and the boat was apparently familiar, at the end of 16th century, to an editor of Chaucer's works Thomas Speght, who remarked that Wade's boat bore the name Guingelot. To the Angles, Wade was the Keeper of the Ford, and acted as both ferryman and protector.

    Wade

    by: Jupiter Coyote

    Sitting on a side-walk in Boone
    I ain't got nothing better to do
    Mr. S sings a song or two. Now "That's Amore"
    We rolled and railed here a time or two
    Probably end up downtown before we're through
    You got coke, you got the real thing
    Chastain, Atlanta, GA
    I went to see the Allman Brothers play
    I didn't leave quite the same way
    Cause I was smokin' in a blaze of glory
    Well they rolled up a number and they sent it my way
    I sure do love to hear the 'Brothers' play - oh yeah
    Now, you hear that - you hear the real thing
    An island drunk is all I am
    I've been sitting at the bar mixing 'Black and Tans'
    I can't say nothin for the shape I'm in
    I ain't drunk - I'm just drinkin'
    You can ride so high on a plane load of fools
    And one day son, you run out of fuel - oh yeah
    When you hit ground, son that's the real thing
    You can ride so high on a plane load of fools
    and one day son you run out of fuel
    When you hit ground
    Son that's the real thing - ooohhh yeah
