Lyrics Gentle Giant

Gentle Giant

Raconteur, Troubadour

Gather round the village square

Come good people both wretched

and fair

See the troubadour play on the drum

Hear my songs on the lute that I strum.

I will make you laugh,

Revel, Merry-dance

Throw your pennies, then you'll hear

more of

the story-telling half

There's no other chance,

Always move on

Raconteur, troubadour

Take the face that you see for the man,

Clown and minstrel, I am what I am

All my family, not of my kin

Home, wherever, the place that I'm in

Humors give me wage,

Favors for my art

Rising, falling

Everyone struggle on

All the world's a stage

All can play their part

I have chosen

Raconteur, troubadour

Dusk is drawing my story is spun,

Dawn is falling my day's work is done

Morning, rested I set on my way

Find new faces to offer my play

I will make you laugh,

Revel, Merry-dance

Throw your pennies, then you'll hear

more of

The story-telling half

There's no other chance

Always move on

Raconteur-Troubadour
