No one will come to the meetings
I've got to do all the work
All officer reports are overdue
And I'm feeling like a jerk

Chorus:

I got the Seneschal blues
The SCA Seneschal blues
I think I've paid more than my dues
With those Seneschal blues

My Marshall just got deployed
My herald has lost her voice
My chatelaine is Skin Head
But he was our only choice

Chorus:

I caught my Exchequer gambling
With the local group funds
He said it was a sure thing
And he's getting 20 to 1

Chorus:

We tried to host and event
Put it in the Dragon’s Tale
Then two days before the Autocrat
Was busted and sent to jail

Chorus:

At night I get these phone calls
From members who have no life
I spend so much time putting fires out
That I never see my wife

Chorus:

I think that I’ve had enough
This job is getting to me
I’ve been doing the job for two whole months
I’ll give it to my Deputy

Final Chorus:

Then he’ll have those SCA Seneschal blues
Those SCA Seneschal blues
Someone else will pay the dues
And get those SCA Seneschal blues

At last year's Harvest Quest, Lord Aestan sang out the line "I’ve got those Seneschal Blues." The rest of the song followed from that. The Local Seneschal performs one of the toughest jobs in the SCA. These people are the ones in my mind who really keep the SCA working. They have to be manager, baby sitters, confessors, etc. The song describes what a new Seneschal might expect.
