Vagabond

Wearily Traveling This Road

Vagabond

By ~ Reagana

Wearily traveling this road

I sought a welcome abode

When into the village I strode

The innkeeper quickly stowed

Then to a table he showed

He brought me ale to drink

Giving me time to think

About the barmaid’s wink

If it was only a blink

For surely I must stink

My bed of straw and fleas

Did nothing but make me sneeze

And wrap my arms around my knees

Lest all night long I freeze

And not a moment’s sleep shall ease

I should have kept on going

Happy in not knowing

Of the gossip growing

Bout the cavalry that’s flowing

Or the arrows that they’re throwing

Set to leave upon the morn

With a horse whose hoof is torn

And won’t eat a cob of corn

Before the sounding of the horn

Yet, so weary and so worn

I climb upon his back

Bid farewell to humble shack

Look up to sky so black

And plod down my endless track

For to journey is my knack
