[Verse 1]
As I came onto the village square
I saw a lady standin' there
"I can take you to a tavern if you're dry,"
And she thanked me with a twinkle in her eye
[Verse 2]
Tavern master saw that I was thread with rags
My guitar was strapped within my shoulder bag
I can earn my keep for meal and a bath
Tellin’ tales of all the villages I’ve passed
[Verse 3]
Playin’ my song was much to my surprise
Sufficient in the tavern keeper's eyes
Listen to me sing the days of long ago
And the lady wants to take me to her home
[Outro]
Take me home (take me home)
Take me home
On my way
On my way
