Helmet on His Head

Performed by: Janna Oakfellow-Pushee
Place/Gathering : Ivory/Queen of Hearts
Date: August
Original by/Sung to: Great Big Sea
So, the lady Faelinn asked me to do up a bardic for Queen of Hearts for the team that year, and I wrote both originals and filked songs, to see what the lady would like. The song that follows below was filked, and not used.

So one day I was smokin' up
me pipe behind a barn
The smell, it helps me thinkin'
when I needs to tell a yarn
I ain't got fancy titles,
nor do I wear green or blue...
but when it comes to ladies,
this tale I tell is true.

The first love was a sad one, she always dressed in pink.
A knight, he was from Cornwall, it really made you think
If such a man was virtuous, then why did he leave so?
It turned out she was done behind a man who was a rogue.

C: So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) There's no time for delay.
I don't want my face ripped off, for Skalds put on display.
So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) I'm glad you shared my bed,
but I don't trust a fella with a helmet on his head.

Ducheneux was a foreigner, elle a jouer avec moi
The rogue-fake-knight want-ted a lass to have menage a toi
But paladins are bruisers, throw logs like they were sticks
And if they had the rights to it, it woulda been rogue's NECK

C: So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) There's no time for delay.
I don't want my face ripped off, I need it for today.
So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) I'm glad you shared my bed,
but never trust a fella with a helmet on his head.

"Southern girls beg not to fight, they'd always be in tears
Praying on their shiny beads or screaming in your ears
Northern girls, their caterwaul, sends shivers up your spine
And when they ain't back-packing, they can really hold a line!"

C: So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) There's no time for delay.
I don't want my face ripped off, for Skalds put on display.
So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) I'm glad you shared my bed,
but I don't trust a fella with a helmet on his head.

He should have left a letter, and it would have been polite,
But he's clearing out the tavern, and time is getting tight.
I'm smoking from the circle, perhaps another day...
Cause they're calling up a newbie, so to Lost King-doms I sway.

C: So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) There's no time for delay.
I don't want my face ripped off, for Skalds put on display.
So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) I'm glad you shared my bed,
but I don't trust a fella with a helmet on his head.
C: So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) There's no time for delay.

So goodbye! (FARE THEE WELL!) I'm glad you shared my bed,
but I don't trust a fella with a helmet on his head.
Yeah, I don't trust a fella with a helmet on his head.
No, never trust a fella with a helmet on his head! (FARE THEE WELL!)
