He Brought a Cleric | A Green Hag's D&D Swamp Love Song (Lyrics Video)

#Halloween #DnDMusic #BardSong Out where the tavern road bends into the swamp, a lonely green hag gives a passing paladin directions — and he keeps coming back. A drawn sword, a splash of holy water, a burning torch, and finally a cleric with a book and a bell: to her, every attempt to slay her looks like courtship. This rowdy celtic tavern jig is a D&D bard song for every party whose quest was misread as a love letter. "First he came with a sword. Then with holy water. Then with a torch, and a cleric with a book and a bell. Any hag in the swamp knows a wedding on sight." — Songs of a Bard 🎲 The Bard's Wares Gear I'd stake my lute on, traveler: ◦ ⚔️ The greatest D&D adventure on screen → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRB73GD?... ◦ 🐉 Your first adventure starts here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V84WNPK?... ◦ 🎲 Dice that roll like destiny → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F817H27?... ◦ 📖 The adventurer's tome → https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786969822?...

One day a paladin knocked with his helm on his arm, and he asked me the way to the old miller's farm. So I pointed him north, and he bowed, and he went, and by noon he came back, and I knew what it meant. He brought a cleric, a cleric in white, down through my bog by the candlelight! He brought a cleric right up to my door, and you don't bring a cleric unless you want more! Then on Tuesday he came all in armor and mail, said he'd come here to slay me, his face going pale. And he drew out his sword, and he never once blinked, for he couldn't take his eyes off of me, I think. So I put on my glamour, my prettiest face, with a dimple of silk and a collar of lace, but my nose slipped a bit, and he yelped, and he ran. Well, he's playing it shy. I approve of the man. He brought a cleric, a cleric in white, down through my bog by the candlelight! He brought a cleric right up to my door, and you don't bring a cleric unless you want more! Then on Friday he came with a little glass flask, and he splashed me all over before I could ask. It was holy, he said, and it fizzled my skin, but I knew it was perfume, so I rubbed it right in. Oh, it smelled like a chapel and stung like a bee, and no fellow had ever bought perfume for me. I have stirred this old pot for three hundred years, with the frogs for a choir and the fog for my tears. You can call it a quest, you can call it a war, but he's the first man who ever knocked on my door. Then on Sunday he came with a cleric in tow, in a robe like a snowdrift, with candles aglow. She was reading out verses and ringing a bell, so I combed out my hair, and I combed out the smell. Well, a book and a bell and a lady in white, any hag in the swamp knows a wedding on sight. And on Monday he came with a torch burning bright, and my hut went ablaze like a lamp in the night. Now what man burns a house in the chill of the fall? One who frets that his bride might get cold, that is all. Then the cleric knelt down, and she blessed my green hand, and if those weren't vows, then I don't understand. He brought a cleric, a cleric in white, down through my bog by the firelight! He brought a cleric right up to my door, so I'll marry that paladin, that's what clerics are for! From the end of the bridge he turned round and he bowed, and he waved me so kindly, like he waves to a crowd. So come back soon, darling, my door's open wide, well, there isn't a door now, so just come inside. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
