No Nay Never - Round Robin!

Postby Ashiwi » Sun Oct 08, 2006 8:12 pm

Oh when I was a girl, just a young elvish lass
All buxom and bravo and a tight piece of ass
I had dreams that were many and gold pieces none
And a lust for adventure and the treasure it won

For it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Now I never shall play
The wild elf rogue no more

I wandered the world from the north to the south
Eking a living that was just hand to mouth
When I found I had talents with a quick flashing blade
And I could pocket the wealth from believers I made

For it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Now I never shall play
The wild elf rogue no more

Now I'm no longer young, and the only thing tight
Is my fist on the hilt of a dagger at night
But with gold I'll buy my youth from a young, handome mage
And we'll take all my coin and go enjoy my age!


For it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Now I never shall play
The wild elf rogue no more

Gormal tells you 'always another beer-soaked layer'

When I was a young lass I always was told..
Adventuring fighters were all brave and bold...
They fight for the trophies, and shiny small things
But I've had enough, and its now that I'll Sing..

[chorus]
That its No, Nay Never,,,
No Nay Never No more, will my Lord
be a fighter...
No never, no more...


They fight for the glory and baubles it brings
They love to look handsome for each bard that sings
But what do you get when one misses a bash
A great pile of nothing but cinders and ash

[chorus]
So its No, Nay Never,,,
No Nay Never No more, will my Lord
be a fighter...
No never, no more...


I'll look for a man with his nose in a book,
Who will laugh at my tales, and not care I can't cook.
I'll wander the realms, still quite carefree to roam,
For he'll pay it no mind when I'm gone from our home'

A very nice rewrite of a nice little ditty but give some credit to the original song writer Luv :)

Otherwise . . .Brava!
Rho, Fen and a few other names not worth mentioning

Not a clue who the original artist was. If you happen to know, please post!

It's an old Irish folk song (and a favorite of one of the bands that plays at a local pub). I'm not entirely sure anyone knows who the original artist was anymore.

There's been so much Filk created off that song and its so old that no-one really knows.

The original song I think is "Wild Rover".
