Well my name's Vollsanger and my story's seldom
told
Though I've sung of other heroes of the great things they have
done - or at least they claim to..
I play requests - Just the ones that got two chords in and I
disregard the rest
Cromwell and Froat say I could be the best
Well I left the Skadi Mountains in the Spring of 1105
Joined this band of factions, in the quiet of the Crimson Moon,
a Tavern there
Laying Low, seeking out the finest wenches and pulling….. pints
of beer
And helping out the Widow - have no fear
I’m Here all Week!! (Oh No!)
You may be passing through
I'm here all week
My name it is Vollsanger
I'm here all week
Asking only for a copper I will sing your favourite song
Or you give me a silver and I travel quietly on – it’s very
simple
Listen to me!! - for a gold or two I’ll write your song - you'll
go down in history
Well, they're all dead now - but that's nothing to do with me
!!
I’m Here all Week!!
You may be passing through
I'm here all week
And I write the greatest songs
I'm here all week
I was singing "You bring the Mead" - well I clean
forgot the words
So I sang the introduction - twice as loud and in reverse and
no-one noticed
I laughed for hours - the tears ran down my trouser legs I thought
I'd wet my drawers
There’s no escape - and there is no Sanity Claus
In the tavern stands Vollsanger he's a Singer by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every Song he's written of every
hero, and their shades, they begin to speak
And they say "His name’s Vollsanger and guess what? -
(He's here all week)"
=======================
I’m Here all Week!! (oh No!)
You may just be passing through
I’m here all week
My name it is Vollsanger –
I’m here all week
(And I’m really not a Geek !! I’m here all week!!)
