The Journeyman's Grace Lyrics - Live In Finland, 1971 - 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 

(Chorus) 

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 

(Chorus) 

(Chorus) 

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 

(Chorus)
