Please refer to Cantaria's Copyright informationNotes from Mikal:
This was written to the tune "Nancy Hogan's Goose", and is one of the few filks I am guilty of....
| Come gather all ye fellows And lift a cup to memory Of a common working fellow Much the same as you and me He was a simple goose-herd Chorus When the guards came calling So he went out to his goose-pens Chorus The captain's face was livid But the goose-herd was determined Chorus |
Oh the Baron took to shouting "A court of nobles should convene To keep this peasant quiet And keep such rabble from our king" So they gathered all the peerage Chorus They were ready for a lynching He approached the goose-herd kindly Then the goose-herd seemed to brighten Chorus |
