Lyrics

Sancho's Song

Words and music by R.F. Schenck

(c)2020 Stuball Music

Sometimes I wonder why I leave my children and my faithful wife
to sleep beneath the sky and brave the rain and sun for this adventurous life
At sunrise we resume our quest, a bite of cheese and and swallow of wine

My master makes me glad with tales of riches that we will receive
I overlook he's mad and only half pretend that I believe
So gallantly he'll charge his foes, then I help him get up from the ground

The only thing more strange than misadventures launched in Dolcinea's name
is hearing from the lips of strangers that we pass tales of our growing fame
Beneath an old cork tree we rest, a bite of cheese and a swallow of wine
Tomorrow we renew our quest, a bit of bread and a swallow of wine
