Toss a Coin to Your Witcher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a humble bard graced a ride along
With Geralt of Rivia, along came this song
From when the White Wolf fought a silver-tongued devil
His army of elves at his hooves did they revel
They came after me with masterful deceit
Broke down my lute and they kicked in my teeth
While the Devil's horns minced our tender meat
And so cried the Witcher, "He can't be bleat"

[Chorus]
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O Valley of Plenty, O Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O Valley of Plenty

[Verse 2]
At the edge of the world, fight the mighty horn
That bashes and breaks you and brings you to mourn
He thrust every elf far back on the shelf
High up on the mountain from whence it came
He wiped out your pest, got kicked in his chest
He's a friend of humanity, so give him the rest
That's my epic tale: our champion prevailed
Defeated the villain, now pour him some ale

[Chorus]
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O Valley of Plenty, O Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O Valley of Plenty, O Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O Valley of Plenty, O Valley of Plenty, a-oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity

About

“Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” tells the story of Geralt of Rivia and how he fought a sylvan, a half-goat half-man, in the second episode of the series titled “Four Marks.” In the show, it was composed by Jaskier, Geralt’s companion, played by Joey Batey.

Jaskier spins the real events to paint Geralt in a heroic light, hoping to win over the common folk and ease the distrust and contempt with which Witchers are met in the Northern Kingdoms.

Q&A

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning

Shouldn't it be spelled "O' Valley of Plenty", with an apostrophe?

No, absolutely not. “O” is the vocative particle, as in “O Canada,” “O Lord,” and “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” It basically means “I’m talking to you.” Using O is pretty archaic, but The Witcher does have a medieval setting after all.

With an apostrophe, it suggests you’re contracting the word “Of.” For example, “10 o'clock” means “10 of the clock,” or Irish surnames like O'Malley mean “of Malley,” the descendant of someone called Malley.
