Gather round the village square
|
Come good people both wretched and fair.
|
See the troubadour play on the drum
|
Hear my songs on the lute that I strum.
|
I will make you laugh,
|
Revel, Merry-dance.
|
Throw your pennies, then you'll hear
|
more of
|
the story-telling half.
|
There's no other chance,
|
Always move on
|
Raconteur, troubadour.
|
|
Take the face that you see for the man,
|
Clown and minstrel, I am what I am.
|
All my family, not of my kin.
|
Home, wherever, the place that I'm in.
|
Humors give me wage,
|
Favors for my art.
|
Rising, falling
|
Everyone struggle on.
|
All the world's a stage
|
All can play their part.
|
I have chosen
|
Raconteur, troubadour.
|
|
Dusk is drawing my story is spun,
|
Dawn is falling my day's work is done.
|
Morning, rested I set on my way.
|
Find new faces to offer my play.
|
I will make you laugh,
|
Revel, Merry-dance.
|
Throw your pennies, then you'll hear
|
more of
|
The story-telling half.
|
There's no other chance.
|
Always move on
|
Raconteur-Troubadour.
