A Lugard Girl Came to Town (song)
To a tavern down in Caemlyn, a maid came in one night
With her hair all made of sunlight and her big eyes burning bright
She ordered up a beer, undid her cloak and let it fall
And that's when she strode right on up and said this to us all:
Oh, I've just come in from Lugard town in fairest Murandy
I like where I've been and I'm liking what I see
But I've come here for a purpose now as quickly as I can:
I've come down here to Caemlyn to find me a good man.
We were speechless for a moment. 'Twas a strange sight for to see:
So lovely a young maiden as brazen as she
She wiggled her sweet hips and then she showed a little thigh
Then every man stood all as one to try and catch her eye.
The first to get attention was a man from Tar Valon
With his dashing good looks, he knew he just couldn't go wrong
He'd had plenty of ladies, far more than he could count
Pick me, cried the man, and I'll show you Dragonmount.
Oh, I've just come in from Lugard town in fairest Murandy
I like where I've been and I'm liking what I see
But I've come here for a purpose now as quickly as I can:
I've come down here to Caemlyn to find me a good man.
The next to come on forward hailed from far-off Cairhien
Which we all know does not provide the tallest of men
Young lady, he said, please invite me to stay
And we'll play games within your house until the break of day.
Then stood up a man who had just come from Ebou Dar
He'd been long on the road and he had traveled very far
My beauty, he said, why don't you pick me
And I'll show you just how good an old seaman can be.
Oh, I've just come in from Lugard town in fairest Murandy
I like where I've been and I'm liking what I see
But I've come here for a purpose now as quickly as I can:
I've come down here to Caemlyn to find me a good man.
Oh, dear me! said the lady. I cannot pick just one
I'd feel far too pick and it'd ruin all my fun
So I'll follow my heart, for it's clear and all can see
There's no other decision, so I'm gonna take all three!
But standing in the back, a man from Amador for sure
Wearing clothes of white, looking righteous and pure
Young woman, he said, you will surely go to hell
But if that is where you're going, then I'm going there as well!
Oh, I've just come in from Lugard town in fairest Murandy
I like where I've been and I'm liking what I see
But I've come here for a purpose now as quickly as I can:
I've come down here to Caemlyn to find me a good man.
I've come down here to Caemlyn to find me a good man.
