๐ Lyrics
Come all ye lads and lasses near
A story I will tell to you
About a cold damp night like this
When shelter I was seeking
A traveler passing through
The barkeep said to guard my coin
To stay away from this tinker
But that just brought me near to him
For naught had I worth taking
A traveler passing through
Well he bought me glass of darkened stout
To thank me for my company
And he dropped a penny in the glass
For the luck that it would bring to me
A traveler passing through
The poor have but their pennies left
The king his saxon shilling
The king would never part with his
Though I part with mine most willing
To a traveler passing through
This coin's been haunted by the sidhe
It shall bring you joy or bring you grief
Depending on the works you do
What once was mine now belongs to you
To a traveler passing through
And we passed the night most forcefully
I sang my songs and his to me
And we talked of life's brief song to sing
Of visions we'd forsaken
As travelers passing through
And the barkeep said it's time with scorn
Your man here will be your undoing
They will lock you up as sure as you are born
If they hear the song you're singing
A traveler passing through
Well they can lock me up as best they can
Yet songs can never know those chains
The song is sacred as the wind
We are just the harp that's singing
A traveler passing through
This coin's been haunted by the sidhe
It shall bring you joy or bring you grief
Depending on the works you do
What once was mine now belongs to you
To a traveler passing through
And later in a highland pub
With friends around me singing
I chanced a glance into my glass
At another penny shining
A traveler passing through
This coin's been haunted by the sidhe
It shall bring you joy or bring you grief
Depending on the works you do
What once was mine now belongs to you
To a traveler passing through
A story I will tell to you
About a cold damp night like this
When shelter I was seeking
A traveler passing through
The barkeep said to guard my coin
To stay away from this tinker
But that just brought me near to him
For naught had I worth taking
A traveler passing through
Well he bought me glass of darkened stout
To thank me for my company
And he dropped a penny in the glass
For the luck that it would bring to me
A traveler passing through
The poor have but their pennies left
The king his saxon shilling
The king would never part with his
Though I part with mine most willing
To a traveler passing through
This coin's been haunted by the sidhe
It shall bring you joy or bring you grief
Depending on the works you do
What once was mine now belongs to you
To a traveler passing through
And we passed the night most forcefully
I sang my songs and his to me
And we talked of life's brief song to sing
Of visions we'd forsaken
As travelers passing through
And the barkeep said it's time with scorn

If they hear the song you're singing

The song is sacred as the wind
We are just the harp that's singing

A traveler passing through
This coin's been haunted by the sidhe
It shall bring you joy or bring you grief
Depending on the works you do
What once was mine now belongs to you
To a traveler passing through
