Pilgrim From The City Lyrics by Dulcimer

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

0

Met a man the other day
Lent me his time
Asked what they called me
His words like rhyme
Said "I haven't got a name"
He said "Son, here, take mine"
He was a pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Go on your way, my son
Take care and pride
Don't let your fellow man
Take you for a ride
I looked into his eyes
I felt so warm inside
He was a pilgrim from the city
Hе came from the city
Pilgrim from the city
Hе came from the city
Mary Jane along the way
Asked me to stay
"Don't tempt me, please" I said
Look me that way
Forget your foolish faith
And come on here and play
I felt so lowdown
When I came around
My senses cold and numb
I couldn't hear a sound
Except the pilgrim's words
That just went around and around
He was a pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
I felt in my pockets
She'd cleaned them out
The pilgrim's words returned
I let out a shout
Has anyone seen the holy man?
Have you seen him about?
He was a pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Then Mary Jane returned
Tears in her eyes
Gave back the things she stole
"Sorry, Sir" she cried
I just met a holy man
And he brought me down to size
He was a pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
Pilgrim from the city
He came from the city
