The Tavern Song

EG.. I have to thank you Siegfried for the inspiration for this one:

The Tavern Song

Mead be the quaff of gods and men
Yet woe be you if it rules ye
No matter the wisdom or years on a man
Mead brings out the fool that he can be

Quaff all you wish but remember my friends
Ale is a cruel deceiver
That wench ye have spied with the gleam in her eye
Ye may be much wiser to leave her

Wine be the stuff of both poets and kings
Yet wary be ye of it's kisses
You may wake to find you have wed to a kine*
When the wine made her fairest of misses

*Kine is a cow btw.. hehehe

-------------------------------------------------------------

May be many more verses to come.. lol.. these kind of songs are added to over time.. sooo.. hehe

RE: The Tavern Song

Very nice! It's going to be so cool to have ballads, songs, and stuff for our areas.

RE: The Tavern Song

Version 2.. a little bawdier..

Mead be the quaff of gods and men
Yet woe be you if it rules ye
No matter the wisdom or years on a man
Mead brings out the fool that he can be

Hey Hey now raise your glasses and let the rafters ring
Tis fine to doff the mead and ale and finer still to sing

Quaff all you wish but mind my friends
Ale is a cruel deceiver
That wench ye spied with the gleam in her eye
Ye may be wise to leave her

Hey Hey now raise your glasses and let the rafters ring
Tis fine to doff the mead and ale and finer still to sing

Wine be the stuff of both poets and kings
Yet wary be ye of it's kisses
You may wake to find you have wed to a kine*
When the wine made her fairest of misses

Hey Hey now raise your glasses and let the rafters ring
Tis fine to doff the mead and ale and finer still to sing

Bjorn the Bold was in his cups
The mead was flowing free
While staggering home his steps did roam
Till a fair maiden he did see

Hey Hey now raise your glasses and let the rafters ring
Tis fine to doff the mead and ale and finer still to sing

He paid no mind to leaf and bough
Her womanly virtues did blind him
He never could say where the splinters were from
Or the places he did find them

Hey Hey now raise your glasses and let the rafters ring
Tis fine to doff the mead and ale and finer still to sing

Oh ... that's great. Dancing Banana

Hmm ... you do know what's going to happen when you post stuff like that? Wink

But this requires chorus and verse and thus might take some time ...

Greetings

Quentin

P.S.: This is NOT, I repeat NOT what I have in mind for this song, but I couldn't help it. If you guess the song, you get a drink from me in the Golden Gryffin.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, but as I said, this version is a horrible rip-off of one of the most famous tavern songs. Wink

Hehe, it's strange though that all of my musical inspirations are more fitting for the Skyrim region ...

Greetings

I like your songs!! Especcially the Lair of king borgas, only the audio quality is questionable... But it might work well anyway...

It would be cool if there was an NPC, (voiced by you), who travelled around and performed your songs on the taverns

We (me and my brother) have thought of making such an NPC also, but who playes the harp or violin. Travels around, and you?d "wish" songs from him, and pay him in alcohol, and the more drunk he gets - the worse he playes and sings

LOL.. a drunken bard! go figger!

Postscript: Quentin you drove me nuts! :lmao:

I know the song, but for the life of me I cannot remember the title. I spent hours last night trying to remember and of course, the harder I tried the less I recalled. lol

Hehe, I'm famous (notorious? ) for driving people nuts, so welcome to the club.

And the music I used for your great lyrics is Whiskey in the jar. Wink

LOL... Now I can sing it! In fact, I used to have it on vinyl.. it was one of my grandda's favorites. (His "office" was in the local pub... lol)

One I used to sing when I was a kid (it really irked mom & dad so I sang it a lot) was The Orange and the Green. lol Mom is catholic, dad was protestant (now he claims he's an atheist.. lol).

Hmmm... are you intending to have these actually SUNG by NPCs?

That would certainly add to the tavern atmosphere. Drinking songs rock!
