Wish I Had a Troubadour Lyrics
Words and Music by Tom Paxton
Wish I had a troubadour a-sittin' 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
(Cho:)
Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by
A gentle western wind to dry your eye
A southern wind to keep you from your cryin'
I'm still tryin'
Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his hat
Doin' 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
(Cho:)
Wish I had a Royal Ballet, to summon at my will
Dancin' by the candlelight, 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
(Cho:)
(Repeat Verse 1)
