I am a Troubadour
By Olen Medvedovich

I am a troubadour, carefree and hey
I come from a country, far, far away
My home is the road and the roof is the sky
And there's no one as happy, and carefree as I

All through the night, and all through the day
composing songs, as I make my way
Cross mountainous regions and along the coast
to all of the lands, that I like the most

A haystacks my bed, or my pillows a rock
yet where ever I go the people all flock
To hear all my tales from near and afar
told by the campfire under the stars

I keep from starving, by entertaining
a noble pheasant or maybe some king
My rewards can be plain or very grand
but as long as I'm enjoyed I'll never be sad

Friends I must admit my throat is now sore
hence before my croaking voice you deplore
I will bring this song to an end, alas
and sooth my voice with a medicinal glass
