Good Life Of Song

Well, I call this room to order Gather round now, hear my song If you're drunk or at its border Listen well, this won't take long There's no doubt in fortune's favour When it tells you you're the one The meal real fruits of your labour Will be sown by you alone [Chorus] Oh, good life of singing Good life of song Won't you grant us our full measure When our day is done? Oh, good wine and women Good night's so long Won't you ease us through our toiling? The road is very long [Verse 2] After long weeks in the corner Where the wine won't make you drunk But you held your place with honour Among the bards and the troubadours This is no Roman lamentation No ode to those who are gone But a joyful incantation To the road we've come upon [Chorus] Oh, good life of singing Good life of song Won't you ease us through our toiling? The road is very long Oh, good wine and women Good night's so long Won't you grant us our full measure? For now we must go on Must go on [Bridge] Good life of singing, good life of song Good life of singing, good life of song Good life of singing, good life of song [Verse 3] Go tell it on a mountain Let them know we passed this way Let them see we came as equals Let them know we weren't afraid And they feel you're love of music In every note you play Well it leaves you if you don't use it Don't let it slip away [Chorus] Oh, good life of singing Good life of song How you granted us our measure When our work was done Oh, good days of drinking Good nights so long How you eased us through our toiling For now we must go on Must go on [Outro] Good life of singing, good life of song Good life of singing, good life of song Good life of singing, good life of song Good life of singing, good life so long
