Storyteller

I'll tell you a story to pass on to the end As told to me so long ago by my good friend As we hollowed round the log fire, we laughed the whole night long As he told me a tale passed on to him by a wanderin' vagabond My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you It was handed down this century and he swore that it was true And in the morning I could see him fade Was it fact or fiction? Who can say? (Storyteller) I believe ev'ry word you say (Storyteller) I bet you told a good tale in your day He tried to tell the people, but the people wouldn't hear Him spinning yarns and telling tales from yesteryear Then he smiled and finished his story He said "Will you pass it on for me?" (Storyteller) I'll tell that tale for you (Storyteller) Somehow I'll get your message through My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you It was handed down this century and I swear that it is true
