Inigo’s Tale

(Flamenco)
Inigo:
The city of Toledo
gathered much acclaim
known for great sword makers
The best in all of Spain

The finest was  Domingo
His sword were straight and true
His family name: Montoya
That is my last name too.

One day we had a visit
From a most important man
He needed a custom foil
For his six fingered right hand

My father loved the challenge
and said he’d forge it right
for weeks he worked unstopping
from dawn to late at night

The six-fingered man demanded the saber
at one tenth the price agreed on at the start
my father refused and the six-fingered man
slashed my father right through the heart.

I loved my father dearly
he raised me to be true
though I was but eleven
I challenged him to a duel

The man he left me bleeding
with the marks you see here
That’s the last time I saw him
It has been twenty years

Twenty years of training
to duel as best I can
Twenty years of searching
For the Six Fingered man

I will find my father’s murderer
I will look him in the eye and say
Hello my name is Inigo Montoya
You Killed my Father
Prepare to Die.
