D C D I’ve traveled the length and the breadth of Caid C D From Cailifia to fair Reslingshire C D And I’ve stood with the armies in the Atdenveldt night C D And sang all my songs ‘round the fire C D I sing them the songs of great battles gone by C D Of loving and drinking and fighting C D I sing them the ballads with tears in my eyes C D And I’ve prayed with them as they lay dyeing Bm A G D And I’ve been with the King as he sent them to war Bm A G D And I’ve heard their dear wives gently weeping Bm A G D For all the brave men they will see nevermore C D And the children left home in their keeping
Now it’s often in darkness and sometimes in rain A troubadour’s life is to travel I laugh when I’m happy sing though my pain Watching life’s loves and life’s battles There’s the miller that spends all his money in wine There’s the priest in the heart of the city There’s the knights in his armor how brightly they shine And the street begger crying for pity
There are women I’ve loved though I’ve left them behind And there’s many a man’d like to find me But I’ve so far to travel so little time So the road must unravel behind me
Still some men may ask why I take to the road What profit the track that has called me Well if you need and answer then you’ll never know The glory of fate that surrounds me I’ve played for your please I’ve played for your pain Set my spells in the air to surround you And long after I’m gone in your hearts I’ll remain If my stories and songs have unbound you
And you’ve taught me to love oh more than you know Thought I’ve brought you some measure of sorry So tonight I’ll be here to play for you though You will find me long gone on the morrowThe Troubadour Words and Music by JP Andrews
