Ghost Of The Wandering Minstrel Boy Lyrics by Dulcimer

And I Turned As I Had Turned As A Boy...

0

Winter was a-falling on the road as hard as steel
The minstrel boy was freezing from his nose down to his heels
He knocked upon the manor door, won't you let me to the warm?
But the Lord and lady threw him out into the raging storm
He cried "Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, it's cold out in the snow
Oh no, I've travelled many miles
And the stories I could bring you
Would surely make you smile"
Up in the outer regions, on the snowcaps of the world
The eskimos were sleeping while outside, the snowflakes swirled
A voice outside the igloo came in words they did not know
Pleading for a place to stay within their house of snow
He cried "Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, it's cold out in the snow
Oh no, I've travelled many miles
And the stories I could bring you
Would surely make you smile"
On an interplanet relay stage in vacuum timelessness
In an air conditioned capsule, the astronauts played chess
When the minstrel boy came floating on their observation screen
But they closed their eyes and looked away, afraid of what they'd seen
He cried "Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, it's cold out in the snow
Oh no, I've travelled many miles
And the stories I could bring you
Would surely make you smile"
