ST&W Sharing 3.16 – Angelica Oung

Angelica sang her original lyrics while accompanying herself on acoustic guitar.

 

St Christopher’s Tavern

At the end of the night, after working all day
Down on the pillow my head I would lay
But the day will soon come when I’ll rest in the ground
Before that day comes, let’s have one more round

There’s good folks you’ll find at St. Christopher’s tavern
Weary travelers too tired to go on
They tarry a while at St. Christopher’s tavern
For a drink, and a rest, because the next stop is home.

There I met an old man, looking tired to the bone
He had so many friends, but he’s here all alone
He said “No more bitter pills no more medicine cups”
“Give me kindness, give me comfort, my time’s almost up”

There’s good folks you’ll find at St. Christopher’s tavern
Weary travelers too tired to go on
They tarry a while at St. Christopher’s tavern
For a drink, and a rest, because the next stop is home.

Bury me in no coffin…lined in silk and lead
I’d like to burn to ashes, and fly ‘way instead
Bring me no roses, strangled in cellophane
my spirit will be dancing with the wind and the rain

There’s good folks you’ll find at St. Christopher’s tavern
Weary travelers too tired to go on
They tarry a while at St. Christopher’s tavern
For a drink, and rest, because the next stop is home.
