A Traveling Song Songtext

Sung in the older fashion

Won't you sing along

To one of the tunes you know



Storytellers all

We gather about your table

Long into the night

With legend and myth and fable

Heroes of renown

Glorious tales of splendor
Servants of the crown

Battle against their foe



Pay the piper well

And bring him a drink of brandy

Up he'll strike a tune

Play it so fine and dandy

Call the local lads

Gather the neighbor's daughters

We shall have a dance

Down in the fields below



When we find a welcome

Calling upon the gentry

Rest your watches long

Quiet your guard and sentry

Rid your mind of care

Banish all weight and worry

Feast and wine prepare

Generous game to show



Still the night is young

And traveling on with pleasure

Grant us wishes well

Luck in the fullest measure

Bid you all adieu

Stories to keep and treasure

When we're passing through

Ever and on we go
