Wish I Had a Troubadour - Tom Paxton

作词：Paxton

Wish I had a troubadour sitting by my knee

Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry

If I had a troubadour I'd signal with my hand

And he would sing for you

He would sing for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his hat

Doing tricks and somersaults

You'd have to laugh at that

If I had a castle clown I'd call him to your side

And he'd do tricks for you

He'd do tricks for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by

A gentle western wind to dry your eyes

A southern wind to keep you from your crying

I'm still trying

Wish I had a Royal Ballet to summon at my will

Dancing by the candle light some lovely old quadrille

If I had a Royal Ballet I'd signal with a nod

And they would dance for you

They would dance for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by

A gentle western wind to dry your eyes

A southern wind to keep you from your crying

I'm still trying

Wish I had a troubadour sitting by my knee

Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry

If I had a troubadour I'd signal with my hand

And he would sing for you

He would sing for you

He would sing for you until you'd smile
