Arthur Sullivan - Sullivan: The Mikado or The Town of Titipu, Act 1: No. 2b, Song with Chorus, "A Wand'ring Minstrel I" (Nanki-Poo, Nobles) lyrics
Artist: Arthur Sullivan
album: Essential Gilbert & Sullivan
A wandering minstrel I a thing of shreds and patches
Of ballad songs and snatches
And dreamy lullabies
My catalog is long though every passion ranging
And to your humor's changing
I tune my supple song
I tune my supple song
Are you in sentimental mood?
I'll sigh with you.
Ohhhh sorrow.
On maiden's coldness do you brood
I'll do so too.
Ohhhh sorrow, sorrow.
I'll charm your willing ears with songs of lover's fears.
While sympathetic tears my cheeks bedew.
Ohhhh sorrow, sorrow.
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted
I've patriotic ballads cut and dried
For where're our country's banner May be planted
All other local banners are defied
Of ballad songs and snatches
And dreamy lullabies
My catalog is long though every passion ranging
And to your humor's changing
I tune my supple song
I tune my supple song
Are you in sentimental mood?
I'll sigh with you.
Ohhhh sorrow.
On maiden's coldness do you brood
I'll do so too.
Ohhhh sorrow, sorrow.
I'll charm your willing ears with songs of lover's fears.
While sympathetic tears my cheeks bedew.
Ohhhh sorrow, sorrow.
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted
I've patriotic ballads cut and dried
For where're our country's banner May be planted
All other local banners are defied
