Currently Playing: I Told the Guard | Upbeat Gnome Paladin's Tavern Confession (Lyrics Video)

#DnDMusic #TavernMusic #DrinkingSong The heist was perfect. The lock was picked, the horses were waiting, and they were three streets gone before anyone noticed. Then a guard said good evening to the paladin, and she told him everything — the take, the plan, the names, and where it was hidden. This original D&D bard song is an upbeat medieval tavern song about a gnome paladin who physically cannot lie, and the party that keeps her anyway. A fiddle-driven celtic folk drinking song for every table that has one gloriously honest disaster in it. 🎧 More bard songs on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mpNdXU4kg1tFpovnK1LMN 🍺 The Bard speaks... "She cannot lie. Not to a guard, not to a friend, not about a hat. They planned that job for a week. She undid it in four words — and every one of them waited for her at dawn." — Songs of a Bard 🎲 The Bard's Wares Gear I'd stake my lute on, traveler: ◦ ⚔️ The greatest D&D adventure on screen → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRB73GD?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 🐉 Your first adventure starts here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V84WNPK?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 🎲 Dice that roll like destiny → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F817H27?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 📖 The adventurer's tome → https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786969822?tag=songsofabard-20 As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 LYRICS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Oh, we had it clean, we had it quiet, we had it done— The wizard picked the lock, the rogue went out the back, the ranger had the horses and the ledger in her pack. We were three streets gone and laughing, we were richer than a king, and a guard said, "Evening, paladin." And I told him everything. I told the guard! I told the guard! I told him what we took and where it's hid! And I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but he asked me, and he's kind— so I told the guard exactly what we did! They asked if I'd seen a thief tonight. I had. It was all of us. They asked me for description, so I drew them one in dust. They asked me for a second thief. I gave them one. And four. They have never had an evening quite so helpful here before. I told the guard! I told the guard! I told him what we took and where it's hid! And I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but he asked me, and he's kind— so I told the guard exactly what we did! The rogue has stopped inviting me to anything with doors. The wizard calls me "evidence." The ranger calls me worse. I have confessed to seven crimes and three we hadn't done. I cannot hold a secret. I have never held a one. And I know what I cost you. I know what I am. I'm the reason that we're running in the rain. But I swore on something older than the gold in that box— and I'd swear the whole thing over again. So they shouted in the alley and they shouted in the inn, and the rogue threw down her gloves and swore she'd never say my name again. But the morning came up golden and the horses were all four, and not a single one had left me— they were waiting by the door. I told the guard! I told the guard! I told him what we took and where it's hid! And I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but he asked me, and he's kind— so I told the guard exactly what we did! I told the guard, I told the guard, and I'll tell him every time. They can curse me all the way to dawn— they'll still save me a seat, and a song, and mine. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world.
