The Ballad of the Balladeer

(Refrain)

One more song

They always shout for more

One more time

They're humming it out the door

One more line

I'll make it up as I go along
For I am the balladeer dear
I am the balladeer

I.

I have always loved to talk

Then I learned to read

Then I started to write

Now I have all the worlds I need

II.

I Loved to tell stories

To bring you along

I would write poetry

I could turn into a song

III.

I've sung in church

I've sung in the shower

When I started busking

I discovered my power

IV.

Now I sing at the coffee shop

Or find any open mic night

I sing all day at the art festival fair

Rock the covers as a new verse I write
