The Lost Squire

[baronessekat]

(To the tune of River Driver by Great Big Sea)

I was just two and twenty when I first went to the war
I met up with a famous knight, it's his belt that I wore
The path he walked was long and rough, but it's all I'd ever known
Now I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry
Get drunk when ever I'm ready, get sober by and by.
And if this life don't kill me, it's war I mean to roam,
For I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

Then one gray September, he told the world good-bye
He left me all alone again, I felt like I would die.
But this cold weight will ground me, and forward I will go
‘Cuz I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry
Get drunk when ever I'm ready, get sober by and by.
And if this life don't kill me, it's war I mean to roam,
For I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

When I am old and feeble and can't go to the War,
Just wrap me in a blanket, and prop me by the door
I will guard the home-front, 'til my brothers all come home
For we are Morguhn's Squires and forever will we roam.

I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry
Get drunk when ever I'm ready, get sober by and by.
And if this life don't kill me, it's war I mean to roam,
For I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

For I am Morguhn's Squire and I'm far away from home.

This was very beautiful. It's times like this that I realize I missed my chance to meet, who seems to have been, a wonderful man. Again, my condolences to you, and all who feel this loss.
