about

Singing in the Black Pearl was never easy – it was big and noisy and a single guitarist had to struggle to be heard.
But it was worth it when your beer was served by one like Sinistaire.
But they take your heart as well as your money……
Sinistaire is the only Lady of Mythodea that Vollsanger has not found again… yet….

I lost my Wallet, Shirt, Heart and Voice
in the Black Pearl Mythodea

lyrics

I'll tell you how I lost my voice at the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

There's a tavern in the town - bane to the Bards - it gets them down
There the crowds all drink and shout - It's the Black Pearl Mythodea!
Bards all try to sing it right, a ballad while the punters fight
They strive to get their voices heard, but they don't get a chance sir!!
But I've a plan, a sneaky one, A plan that's quite supreme sir
A Bardic plan with Bardic fun, when things are quite quite extreme sir
If they won't listen and they don't want to hear..
So I wrote them a chorus about Beer!!
I'll tell you how I lost my voice (1,2,3,4) At the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

What do you want - I'll Have a beer!! - I'll have a beer with you sir .....
And that was how I lost my Voice at the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

There's a gambler in the bar, he's fine with cards - and quite a star
With skill he'll play all night and day - in the Black Pearl Mythodea!
I took a table - took some cards, thought it couldn't be that hard
I played the gambler at his game. I didn't stand a chance sir!!
I saw him shuffle, deal his cards, he went through his paces
I got a mighty hand of Kings - He had all the Aces!!
He took my shirt from me have no fear
But he couldn't take my chorus about the beer
I lost my Shirt when I lost my voice - At the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

There's a wench who serves me beer, cool and chilled, but have no fear
When she smiles I'd walk for miles to the Black Pearl Mythodea!!
Then my heart began to stir- she said her name was Sinistair!
Long blonde hair and darkened eyes - I didn't stand a chance sir !!!
When I asked to taste her wares she didn't tell me no sir
She didn't tell me yes sir, she said she was too young sir!!
Said she knew about old Bards like me
So I gave her a song and drank my beer..
I lost my heart when I lost my voice - At the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

So there's a tavern in the town - and there we drink - we put them down
There the crowds all drink all night - at the Black Pearl Mythodea!
Bards all try to sing it right, a ballad while the punters fight
Strive to get our voices heard, but we don't have a chance sir!!
But While I've copper in my pouch I'll buy just one more beer sir
I'll sing my songs to those by me - cos they're the only ones can hear sir
No !! I don't care if the rest don't want to hear..
I'll spend another copper .. drink my Beer
Cos I lost my Wallet when I lost my voice - At the Black Pearl Mythodea!!

I Lost my Wallet, Shirt, Heart and Voice... In the Black Pearl Mythodea
