Tom Paxton - Wish I Had a Troubadour lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Wish I Had a Troubadour lyrics]
Playing stately rhythms of
The ancient balladry if I had a troubadour
I'd signal with my hand
And he would sing for you
He would sing for you until you'd smile
Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by
A gentle western wind to dry your eye
A southern wind to keep you from your cryin'
I'm still tryin' wish I had a castle clown
With bells upon his hat
Doin' tricks and somersaults
You'd have to laugh at that
If I had a castle clown
I'd call him to your side
And he'd do tricks for you
He'd do tricks for you until you'd smile
Wish I had a Royal Ballet
To summon at my will
Dancin' by the candlelight
Some lovely old quadrille
If I had a Royal Ballet I'd signal with a nod
And they would dance for you
They would dance for you until you'd smile
