I'm just a simple balladeer

With some small tales to tell.

I travel hill and countryside

With hopes to do it well.

My knapsack and my walking stick

Are friends who serve me well.

I'm just a simple balladeer

With some small tales to tell.



Brave knights traverse the countryside

Bedecked on gallant steeds.

With reverence and awe I tell

Of all their wondrous deeds.

The ladies lie at their commands

To give them rightful due

But I am just a balladeer

And I'm in love with you.



I'm just a simple balladeer

The roaming life I choose.

The world my inspiration...

Mother Nature is my muse.

With stories told of deeds so bold

I honor God and king.

I'm just a simple balladeer

With some small song I sing.



The king, resplendant on his throne,

Has wealth beyond compare,

Bedazzles every lady with

His strong majestic air.

Protector of the land is he.

His subjects serve him true

But I am just a balladeer

And I'm in love with you.



I'm just a simple balladeer.

I travel with the dawn

With hopes to find a passage through

The mists of Avalon.

All forest creatures know my name...

I honor bird and fawn.

I'm just a simple balladeer

Who travels with the dawn.



The sailors in their fighting ships

Are rulers of the seas.

With chests of gold and wealth untold

They have all things they please.

Heroic deeds abound as these men

Sail the ocean blue

But I am just a balladeer

And I'm in love with you.



I'm just a simple balladeer.

My memory is my worth.

'Twas not my fate to be a knight

Nor come from royal birth.

I have no gold to offer one

Except for love that's true.

I'm just a simple balladeer

And I'm in love with you.



You will go on...I know you must.

Your gallant knight awaits

Or king upon his golden throne

To bid you through his gates

But, when the minstrels sing at night

Of love devout and true

They'll sing about this balladeer

And how I feel for you.
