Rugo sings in Beregost

[johnlewismcleod]

Rugo sang this song in the Jovial Jester pub in Beregost for the gathered crowd which included Ashan Faewind and Venrill Letharian:

*sings* When I were a lad on the Sea of Stars...An old jack spake to me: ...
*sings* "If ye spend yer life charting Selune's lights...and sailing on the seas...
*sings* Ye can search the ports fer comely girls...Till yer eyes grow weak and dim,...
*sings* But dinna go fishing fer a mermaid, lad...If ye dinna know how to swim"...
*sings* 'Cause her hair were green as seaweed...And her skin were blue and pale...
*sings* And I loved that lass wif all me heart...'though I only liked the the upper parts...I dinna like the tail...

Venrill Letharian: [Talk] *chuckles dryly*

*sings* By and anon it come to pass...whilst plying the cold Moonsea...
*sings* I spied a lass upon the waves...she were beckoning to me...
*sings* "Come live wif me in the deep blue sea...Down on the ocean floor...
*sings* I will show ye many a wondrous thing...That ye've never seen afore" ...
*sings* 'Cause her hair were green as seaweeds...And her skin were blue and pale...
*sings* I did love that lass wif all me heart...But I only liked the upper parts...I dinna like her tail...

*sings* So o'er I jumped and she pulled me down...Down to her seaweed bed...
*sings* A pillow made of turtle shell...She placed beneath me head...
*sings* She fed me shrimps and caviars...upon a silvered dish...
*sings* From head to waist were just to me taste...But the rest of her were fish...
*sings* 'Cause her hair were green as seaweed...And her skin were blue and pale...
*sings* And I loved that lass wif all me heart...But I only liked the upper part...I dinna like the tail...

*sings* Then one sad day, she swam away...So I sang and mournful wailed...
*sings* "Oh, how I miss her sea green hair...And the shimmering of her scales"...
*sings* But then her sister did swim by...And she set me heart awhirl...
*sings* Fer from head to waist were scaly fish...But the rest of her were GIRL! ...
*sings* 'Cause her hair were green as seaweeds...And her skin were blue and pale...
*sings*And I loved that lass wif all me heart...'Though I dinna like the upper parts...I finally got some tail! ... Ha!

Venrill Letharian: [Talk] *chuckles and claps politely* Well done, master Rugo.

Ashan Faewind: [Talk] *calmly* Impressive, master Rugo.
