Coran the Bow
I've roamed o'er this land that's called Faerun
And now to Ar-van-dor I go
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Coran the Bow
To welcome old Coran the Bow
To welcome old Coran the Bow
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Coran the Bow
I've always said "luck be a lady"
And a rogue's life is short as you know
So with this in mind as you listen
Say farewell to old Coran the Bow
Say farewell to old Coran the Bow
Say farewell to old Coran the Bow
So with this in mind as you listen
Say farewell to old Coran the Bow
I've only this one consolation
As out of this world I go
And I know that the next generation
Will resemble old Coran the Bow
Will resemble old Coran the Bow
Will resemble old Coran the Bow
And I know that the next generation
Will resemble old Coran the Bow
I hear now Sehanine approaching
The shepherd of elves who would go
Away to the plane of Ar-van-dor
Including old Coran the Bow
Including old Coran the Bow
Including old Coran the Bow
Away to the plane of Arvandor
Including old Coran the Bow
This is based on the Irish traditional song "Rosin the Bow." That song is a full 7 verses, most of which I cut out because I always felt that Coran was a ladies' man, not a drunk, and the 4 verses I removed all suggested a love of alcohol. The second verse is the only one that is entirely my work. It's kind of scary how little I had to change the song. Maybe Coran's really Irish? Again, look up "Clancy Brothers Rosin the Bow (or Beau)" on youtube to hear the tune.
