Come all you weary mistrels
a warning take by me
I've been too long upon this road
to sing in harmony
I've been alone for much too long
my wanderin' days are through
I wish someone would ask me in
I'd welcome it from you
I have not been contented
too long I've been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed
I've sat beside the devil
I've gambled on a fall
I've sung for drinks in houses
where I got no thanks at all
and everything I've done was left
to do some other day
when the talkin's done
the drinks are gone
there's nothin' left to say
I have not been contented
too long I've been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed
I've watched the days go slowly
I've seen the seasons fall
and hidden in the doorways
to shelter from the cold
I have made my life in riddles
and lived inside the lies
now I'd like to step in side awhile
throw off my disguise
I have not been contented
too long I've been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed
