#DnDMusic #TavernMusic #DrinkingSong They killed the wyrm on a Tuesday. They stared down the abyss and walked back out. But ask these five heroes to name one night for a single mug of ale, and the greatest party in the realm falls apart completely. This original D&D bard song is a fast, stomping medieval tavern singalong about the one quest no adventurer ever completes — finding an evening when everybody is free. A fiddle-driven celtic folk song for every table that has ever lost a campaign to a group chat. 🍺 The Bard speaks... "We have slain dragons together. We have died together. We cannot, for the life of us, agree on a Thursday." — Songs of a Bard ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 LYRICS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ One night! One night! (We can't! We can't!) Just grant your bard one night! (We shan't!) We slew the wyrm on Tuesday night We stared the abyss down—won the fight But name a night to share an ale And watch five mighty heroes fail When are we all free? (Not me!) When do we meet again? (Can't say when!) The wyrm can wait and the gold can keep— It's finding one free night that makes me weep The fighter's got his harvest field to reap The rogue has "other business"—hers to keep The wizard's one page short of something great The cleric tells the gods she'll have to wait When are we all free? (Not me!) When do we meet again? (Can't say when!) The wyrm can wait and the gold can keep— It's finding one free night that makes me weep At last a night! The stars aligned! We swore it, sealed it, triple-signed! We marched as one to claim our cheer— The sign said: "Closed. Come back next year." When are we all free? (Not me!) When do we meet again? (Can't say when!) The wyrm can wait and the gold can keep— It's finding one free night that makes me weep I don't miss treasure, don't miss war I miss us five around one board So send the raven, set the date— Some quests are worth the year you wait And when we finally met—oh, the shame: Four furious heroes hunting blame Someone had marked the wrong damn week— (It was the bard.) The bard won't speak. When are we all free? (Not me!) When do we meet again? (Can't say when!) The wyrm can wait and the gold can keep— It's finding one free night that makes me weep Then came a night no schedule blessed No raven sent, no oath, no quest The door swung wide—I swear it's true— There stood my whole ridiculous crew Tonight we're free! (All free!) Tonight we meet again! (Don't ask us when!) The wyrm can wait and the gold can keep— The only thing we're slaying here is sleep! So here's to calendars that lied To every "next month" cast aside If friends and one free night align— Don't waste it. Next one's wintertime. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world, where original bard songs and clever folk tales bring adventurers together — one song, one mug at a time. I'm a traveling bard — I wander from tavern to tavern, trading songs for stories. Every adventurer who shares my fire leaves a tale behind, and I turn those tales into songs. 🍺 Best Enjoyed With ◦ Session zero, when everyone still swears they're free every week ◦ The group chat where three people have left your last message unread ◦ Tavern downtime and party banter scenes ◦ A mug raised to the one night everybody actually showed up ◦ Any DM who has rescheduled the same session four times 🎶 Style & Atmosphere ◦ Upbeat Celtic Folk / Tavern Drinking Song ◦ Fiddle, Lute & Acoustic Guitar ◦ Female Vocals with Call-and-Response Group Chorus ◦ Rowdy singalong energy with a warm, exasperated grin ◦ Funny, affectionate, and quietly a little sad about lost time 🎵 Continue the Adventure ▶️ Tavern Anthems & Drinking Songs 🍺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYGAaXtq3IevyOI30LQ6pGCLDcNoIAMB5 ▶️ Bard Ballads & Slow Songs 🕯️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYGAaXtq3IeuqlU-9xOPxswiUj9kGWYJ4 ⚔️ A Question for the Party Which excuse in this song is the one your party actually uses?
