The Solitary Traveller

I had a voice clear and true
I chided and scolded and lied about you
Never held my wicked tongue
And now that voice is gone
I had a son looked like you
He did my bidding and paid me my due
Slaved away morning and night
But he ran away and he's gone
Lonely life, where is thy sting
Lonely life, there's no such thing

Here's a health to the solitary traveller
To the solitary traveller
I once had a man love me well
I drew him to me and cast my spell
I was disdainful, he's sick and so painful
And now that man is gone
Lonely life where is thy sting
Lonely life there's no such thing
Here's a health to the solitary traveller
To the solitary traveller

I'm alone now, you think I'd be sad
No voice, no son, no man to be had
You're wrong as can be boys, I'm solvent and free boys
All my troubles are gone
Lonely life where is thy sting
Lonely life there's no such thing
Here's a health to the solitary traveller
To the solitary
Lonely life where is thy sting
Lonely life

Lonely life there's no such thing
Lonely Life
