Commemorating brave death (and resurrection) of Gabriel MacDonald at the hands
of Sasha Windwalker at the Barad Duin Mid Reign, June 1998
Tune: Cowboy's Lament Words by Ginger Hulsopple Use same chords throughoutG C G
As I walked out in the Whispering Woodlands
C G D
As I walked out on the trail one day
G C G
I spied a young warrior all wrapped in white linen
C D G
Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay.G C G
2. "I see by your garbin' that you are a warrior."
C G D
These words he did say as I boldly passed by.
G C G
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,
C D G
For I'm a brave warrior and I'm dyin' today."G C G
3. "Our party did meet up with three giant troll-men
C G D
We answered their riddles and gave them some meat
G C G
Then onward we walked out upon the green trail-o
C D G
Upon the green trail, our next foe to beat."G C G
4. "Then boldly approached us, a Knight all in checkers
C G D
A favor he had for to ask of us so:
G C G
"Pray give me a warrior to sacrifice quickly!
C D G
I swear to return him to life e'er we go!"G C G
5. "And quickly I stepped up to meet his dire challenge.
C G D
His sword it did flash in the bright summer sun.
G C G
My body, it fell and my life, it did leave me,
C D G
But soon I will live, for the test I have won!"G C G
6. The Knight all in checkers then touched the young warrior
C G D
And brought him to life and these words he did say:
G C G
"I resurrect you, sir! A noble deed done, sir!
C D G
A noble deed done, and you're livin' today!"G C G
7. Oh! beat the drum slowly and play the pipe lowly
C G D
And honor the deeds of the warrior who fell
G C G
And tell the tale over and sing of his glory
C D G
And thank the Rulemaker for the Resurrect Spell!
