Wand'ring Minstrel lyrics
A wand'ring minstrel I,
A thing of shreds and patches,
Of ballad songs and snatches,
And dreamy lullaby.
My catalogue is long,
Through ev'ry passion ranging
And to your humours changing,
I tune my supple song
(He tunes his song)
I tune my supple song!
If you try at love and always fail,
I'll sigh with you!
"Oh, listen to me, baby,
Oh, baby!"
Does your heart sing out a lonely wail?
I'll do so too!
"Oh yeah, ohh yeah!
Ohhhh yeah!"
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted,
I've patriotic ballads cut and dry!
For where e're our country's banner may be planted,
All other local banners are defied!
Our warriors in Marching Ranks assemble,
Never quail, or they conceal it if they do,
And I should not be surprised if Nations tremble
Before the mighty troops of Titipu!
We should not be surprised
If they should tremble with surprise
At the troops of Titipu!
A wand'ring minstrel I,
A thing of shreds and patches,
Of ballad songs and snatches,
And dreamy lullaby.
My catalogue is long,
Through ev'ry passion ranging
And to your humours changing,
I tune my supple song
I tune my supple song!
