Talisman Lyrics

Sweet mercy young up & gone & left me lonesome,
What a melancholy habit a rolling stone has to roam,
Your hat is where your home is
Oh! for your sake all the hearts I would break

Just for the reckoning
What should I do to survive?
Where should I go for sustenance?
& how will it suffer
No, it would not do to reply,

There is no viable
Natures delight are worth a few bites
So come under the canopys

Casting the bones across the table again
Kiss the talisman, roll the wheel
Cast off the anchor & go sailing again
Tilt the rudder & turn the keel

Carry on traveller
Cut loose your burden,
& sit a while beside me
Circumstances collide
You can't stop the tide steady advance
What would you stake & wich wager forsake?
For the plot is always thickening

Casting the bones across the table again
Kiss the talisman, roll the wheel
Cast off the anchor & go sailing again
Tilt the rudder & turn the keel

1 for solace, 2 for courage
3 for protection on the voyage
4 for fortune, 5 for tomorrow
6 & 7 for loss & sorrow

1 for solace, 2 for courage

3 for protection on the voyage

4 for fortune, 5 for tomorrow

6 & 7 for loss & sorrow
