Stephen Flaherty - Some Say lyrics

(As storytellers sing the following, Ti Moune and storytellers pantomime her journey. Ti Moune does not sing.) [STORYTELLERS] Some say... [STORYTELLER 1, spoken] How Ti Moune Began the Long Journey Toward the City! [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLER 2] Some say her feet were bare And the road was long and cruel [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLERS 2 & 3] Some say she got a ride From a vendor and his mule [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLER 1] The gods pulled up in a car And drove her all the way [STORYTELLERS] Well, no one knows How the real truth goes But that's what some say! Some say! [LITTLE GIRL] And how far did she travel? [STORYTELLERS] As far as you suppose [LITTLE GIRL] And how long did it take her? [STORYTELLERS] Much longer than your nose! [LITTLE GIRL] And was she ever frightened? Or was her love too strong? And did she know she'd end up In our story and our song? [STORYTELLERS] Our story and out song... (Storytellers create the hustle of the city.) [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLER 1] What Happened When Ti Moune Finally Reached the City! [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLERS 2 & 4] Some say they laughed at her For her peasant feet were bare [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLERS 5 & 3] Some say the vendor man Gave her shoes too small to wear [STORYTELLERS] Some say: [STORYTELLER 6] The gods said put on the shoes! It's a price you have to pay! [STORYTELLERS] The shoes were tight But she said [LITTLE GIRL] All right! [STORYTELLERS] Well, that's what some say! Some say! [STORYTELLER 2, spoken] At last Ti Moune arrived at the gates of the Hotel Beauxhomme [GATEKEEPER, spoken] Stop! [STORYTELLER 6, spoken] But the gods looked down, the gates swung open, and Ti Moune went in search of her Daniel [STORYTELLERS] Some say... [STORYTELLER 7] Some say she scrubbed the floors 'Til she learned where he was kept [STORYTELLERS] Some say... [STORYTELLER 8] Some say she climbed a vine To the window where he slept [STORYTELLERS] Some say... [STORYTELLER 7 & 8] The gods just lifted her up And placed her where he lay [STORYTELLERS] Well, no one knows How the real truth goes It all depends What you hear from friends It's no surprise If it's all just lies [STORYTELLERS] But that's what some say That's what some say That's what some say That's what some say... [LITTLE GIRL] Some say... Some say... Some say...
