The Travelling Troubadours
The travellers wandered with word and song
Along the banks of the river long,
As each one chose their place to play,
Peeling off from the crowns along the way.
Stories told from near and far,
Reflect in the river as she reaches the bar,
Flowing from source to salty sea,
The land’s life blood, veins eternally.

French Troubadours Sing Their Praises
French troubadours sing their praises

The Troubadours
Teasing and loving ladies near and far
Robust are they, their mead in a jar
Over the hills their words ring out loud
Under the trees they sing tall and proud
Boasting of great adventures from their sorted past
Among the village folk, a crowd gathers fast
Dance, drink and be merry they hum
One plays the panpipes, the other the drum
Up
