My friend Deravyn sent this to me in response to my pagan blues. He didn't
specify a tune but I'm sure you can come up with one.
My coven told me I was worthless
They threw me out onto the road
I travelled my way back to momma
She told me I was getting way too bold
My girlfriend she done left me
Told me my aura was just too dim
She threw out all my Yanni records
And told me where I could go swim
I'm a pagan man
Ain't got nothin to be too proud of
I'm a pagan man
Gonna wander the rest of my days
Now my dog he done passed on
To the summerlands yesterday
I cried when they lit him on fire
But it was the cheapest I had to pay
So I went to the old fillin station
Got myself a few cases of beer
Old Bubba he called me a satanist
I told him I would mount his head like a deer
Now Bubba..being a roudy old sort didn't take too kindly to my drunken
threats and what followed could best be described as a old fashioned
backyard brawl...now when I finally came to, this is what I saw...
The sheriff he done cuffed me
Told me I was going down the river
He confiscated my athame
Boy did I ever shiver
The judge he wasn't too kindly
But he only gave me a slap in the wrist
Told me to pack my bags for Salem
and to never come back on his list
I'm a pagan man
Got no home and no soul mate
A pagan man
On this ice is where I skate
Now the ending of this story is depressing
So I'll change it just a bit
No use in crying in my mead
I'll just keep my candles lit
Now Salem, now there is a city
All shops and witches in black
Now thats where a coven did find me
And welcomed me into their pack
Now all the world is shining
Calling the gods most every day
Don't remember those times down in Memphis
Got no worries or dues to repay
Cause I'm a pagan man
Hail the Gods and pass me a beer
A pagan man
The most lovable kind my dear
