minstrel: A lovely song I wrote

[DKKADE at aol.com]

While I am not the best when it comes to writing music, I find I am a good 
hand at writing lyrics to already exsisting musical pieces.  While many may 
remember the song "Sweet Molly Malloy" that has that adorable and catchy refrain 
to the melody - "Alive, Alive Oh, Alive, alive Oh... singing Cockles and 
muscles - alive, alive oh!"

Well, I wrote a whole new song for the melody.  I thought you might like it.. 
it's called - An Inn or a Tavern.

By Brigid (Bridget) -- Shire or Rokeclif


An Inn or a Tavern

Oh long have I traveled.
My clothing is raveled.
An inn or a tavern,
Do I implore

My horse has grown weary.
The weather is dreary.
An inn or a tavern,
Do I implore.

An inn or a tavern,
An inn or a tavern,
An inn or a tavern,
Do I implore.

Dear keeper do take me.
My money forsakes me.
A room for the evening,
And hay for my horse.

The keeper looks sadly.
I know this goes badly.
No room for the evening.
No hay for my horse.

No room for the evening.
No room for the evening.
No room for the evening.
No hay for my horse.

So now do I travel,
With clothing all raveled.
An inn or a tavern,
Do I cry.

Over the hillside,
What is it that I spy?
A wonderous inn,
For me and my horse.

There's room for the evening.
There's room for the evening.
There's room for the evening!
And hay for my horse!
