Minstrel Fine from Minstrel Fine by Laverick
I wrote this song for a friend of mine who's catch phrase is 'I came for the fencing and stayed for the bardic."

Lyrics
It's up in the morning and on my way.
To marry make throughout the day.
With a string or horn or wind or drum,
I sing for you and I sing for fun.
Chorus
Well I wander near, and I wander far
with a wanderlust that fills my heart.
And though the pickings be lean and hard
I live the life of a bard, I live the life of a bard.
Well It Happened One Day by Averly
Between Fox Grove and the Briar Sea
My wagon was hailed with call to hold
By 13 men in brown and gold.
The captain stepped forward with a nasty grin
And said “Well bard, shall we begin?
I'll have your horse and your wagon fine,
and tonight you'll sing for me and mine!"
Chorus
Well I wander near, and I wander far
with a wanderlust that fills my heart.
And though the pickings be lean and hard
I live the life of a bard, I live the life of a bard.
Without do care for my tools or blade,
they took my lead, but no fuss I made.
For though they cut away my purse -
they'd asked of me a song and verse!
So that evening long I entertained:
Of war and jest and love I sang.
And I'd have left lighter and fed
but they ordered me to the captains bed.
Chorus
Well I wander near, and I wander far
with a wanderlust that fills my heart.
And though the pickings be lean and hard
I live the life of a bard, I live the life of a bard.
I'll take anything but an insult made.
Put my lute down and I drew my blade.
And the captain who praised my sing song lilt
I knocked out flat with the pommel and hilt.
A bard I'll be, and a minstrel fine,
but my loves the dagger, so I carry nine!
One for each bandit that jumped to the fray...
Two in my sleeve when the rest ran away.
Chorus
Well I wander near, and I wander far
with a wanderlust that fills my heart.
And though the pickings be lean and hard
I live the life of a bard, I live the life of a bard.
I gathered my lute and my wagon and horse.
Set out on my merry making course.
I'll give up my purse and I’ll gift my voice,
but i will fight if you take my choice!
