Troubadour Song
Once I had a friend who liked to play on the violin
He'd reel and jig while the guitar notes I'd bend
He had a lust for the liquor drink, did snuff his fire for the strings
And he drank himself to burn out in the end
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour puts one foot in front the other
And he plays another chord
My brother was a gambler, he played on the drums
The thunder underneath my guitar strums
But he tried to cheat the beat of a policeman out on the street
Now he's just tapping a prison wall ten years to come
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour put one foot in front the other
And he played another chord
When I was a child I got lost in a forest green
My father found me sleeping by a stone
That night upon his knee he looked me in the eyes and he said to me
My son, some day you've got to find your own way home
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour puts one foot in front the other
And he plays another chord
He'd reel and jig while the guitar notes I'd bend
He had a lust for the liquor drink, did snuff his fire for the strings
And he drank himself to burn out in the end
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour puts one foot in front the other
And he plays another chord
My brother was a gambler, he played on the drums
The thunder underneath my guitar strums
But he tried to cheat the beat of a policeman out on the street
Now he's just tapping a prison wall ten years to come
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour put one foot in front the other
And he played another chord
When I was a child I got lost in a forest green
My father found me sleeping by a stone
That night upon his knee he looked me in the eyes and he said to me
My son, some day you've got to find your own way home
One man fall on his sword
One man pray to the Lord
But the troubadour puts one foot in front the other
And he plays another chord
