The Plainsman
Fairport Convention
From 'Rosie' 1973
Another melancholic Trevor Lucas song
Capo II
Intro: C, F, G, F, C
I cCome from the moor and the mFountain
From the wGaterfFall and strCeams
I turned me back on the mFountain trCack
I'm walking in a drAmeam
And eCvery new hForizCon
To me it seems the sAmame
And eCverywhere look oFld and bad
While tGravelling Fon the plCain
C, F, G, F, C
Thus no one rides this road with me
A plainsman rides alone
No welcome waits by a city gate
No voice to call me home
Alone I came into this place
And that is how I will go
And all I learn is the season's turn
It's all I need to know
Oh, the world is hung with silver tongues
With good advice to give
If you can't show me how to die
Don't tell me how to live
The plainsman's song, though it's seldom long
It's more than meets the ear
And all I believe is the falling leaves
At the turning of the year
