I'll tell you a story to pass on to the end,
|
as told to me so long ago by my good friend
|
As we hollowed round the log fire, we laughed the whole night long,
|
as he told me a tale passed on to him by a wanderin' vagabond
|
My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you
|
It was handed down this century and he swore that it was true
|
|
And in the morning I could see him fade
|
Was it fact or fiction? Who can say?
|
(Storyteller) I believe ev'ry word you say
|
(Storyteller) I bet you told a good tale in your day
|
|
He tried to tell the people, but the people wouldn't hear
|
him spinning yarns and telling tales from yesteryear
|
|
Then he smiled and finished his story
|
He said "Will you pass it on for me?"
|
(Storyteller) I'll tell that tale for you
|
(Storyteller) Somehow I'll get your message through
|
|
My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you
|
It was handed down this century and I swear that it is true
|
