#BardSong #TavernMusic #DnDMusic She sits down slow, she swears she does, and the whole room turns to watch four good legs of solid oak become a pile of kindling anyway. This upbeat medieval tavern song follows a goliath bard who's paid for seven tables and a banister or two — and every single one, she insists, was halfway broken before she ever touched it. It's a stomp-and-holler celtic folk drinking song for every D&D bard music fan who's ever taken up more room than the furniture could handle. 🎧 More bard songs on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mpNdXU4kg1tFpovnK1LMN 🍺 The Bard speaks...

The whole room turned, the fiddle stopped, the barkeep held his head, and four good legs of solid oak became a pile of kindling instead. The chair was already broken before I ever sat! I'm not the one who broke it, and I'll drink to that! The doorframe wears my shoulders and the ceiling wears my hair, the innkeep sees me coming and he doubles up the fare. I've paid for seven tables and a banister or two, but every single one of them was halfway through. The chair was already broken before I ever sat! I'm not the one who broke it, and I'll drink to that! My people carve their names in stone on peaks above the pine, where nothing ever breaks because there's nothing left to find. I carve mine in the floorboards of a tavern warm and small, one splinter at a time until I've signed the whole damn hall. The chair was already broken before I ever sat! I'm not the one who broke it, and I'll drink to that! They think a mountain cannot laugh, they think we only loom, that we were made for carrying and never made for room. But every hall I've ever wrecked, I filled it back with tune, and no one's ever asked me yet to leave a party soon. So bring the stool, the crate, the keg, whatever's got four legs, I'll set myself upon it like a boulder on some eggs. And if it holds, we'll drink to it and toast the carpenter, and if it don't, we'll drink to that, it's louder anyhow. The chair was already broken before I ever sat! I'm not the one who broke it, and I'll drink to that! When all the dust has settled and the last of it has fell, you'll find me laughing loudest with my back against the wall. The wall's the only thing in here that's ever held my weight, so pour one for the mason, boys, and pour it while it's late. The chair was already broken before I ever sat! I'm not the one who broke it, and I'll drink to that! Already broken, already broken, don't you look at me! Already broken, already broken, pour another, please! Already broken, already broken, that's the way it goes! Already broken, bring another, and nobody knows! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world.
