Song: The Journeyman s Grace (Swarbrick/Thompson)
Album: Angel Delight (1971)
Artist: Fairport Convention
Someone told me there s a grace that leads you straight from place to place
And you always leave the road behind you
You don t need your horses shod, just a dowser and his rod
Leave your mistress, she won t need to find you
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Leave my weary flesh and bone to a circle made of stone
Take me to the mountains for my pleasure
And if the dead man won t depart, drive a stake into his heart
And let me ere deliver him his leisure
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
When you see the race is run and the dark has just begun
Come on with the few and leave the many
There you ll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand
He ll show you a good time for a penny
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way
Oh please, help me please, I won t be afraid
