The Jester's Silver Coin

The jester made the Queen laugh,
He felt himself the luckiest man,
When she smiled and placed a silver coin in his hand,

Here my man, best of the land,
You've made us laugh now you may run,
Go out there on the town and have your share of fun

He held the coin and flipped the coin,
And asked himself then heads or tails,
And finally he made up his mind,
The blacksmith had the coin

Gladly the coin decides
The twists and turns of our lives
But what if once it didn't land on either side?

The blacksmith bid, his handmaid saw,
The jester had the finest sword
The man behind the anvil was the jealous sort,

Tell me man where did you find a silver coin so rare and fine?
May the Gods always smile upon your life

He held the coin and flipped the coin,
And asked himself then heads or tails,
And finally he made up his mind,
The maiden had the coin

Gladly the coin decides
The twists and turns of our lives
But what if once it didn't land on either side?

The handsome maiden, young and fine, she caught the blacksmith's loving eye
Not a single day went by without her in his mind
Gave the girl the silver coin
And said with caring in his voice
You're the one to fill the void within my lone heart

She held the coin and flipped the coin,
And asked herself then heads or tails,
And finally she made up her mind,
The blacksmith had her love

Gladly the coin decides
The twists and turns of our lives
But what if once it didn't land on either side?

Then the women at the well
Asked the lovely maiden
Tell us darling, did you sell your heart for a coin?

Never let the coin remark on the matters of the heart
Hear the wisdom of our years, so you can save your tears

They held the coin and flipped the coin,
And asked themselves then heads or tails,
And suddenly the coin, it fell, it fell into the well!
