|
Sad voices they're calling |
|
Our precious girl she can't be gone |
|
How bitter this morning |
|
When daddy's darling |
|
Went out and started her day |
|
Wasn't there a dream last night |
|
Like a spring never ending |
|
Still the water runs clear |
|
Through my mind |
|
On the field I can see a fiddler |
|
The fiddler on the green and the sad boy |
|
I took him too early |
|
Would you mind |
|
Would you mind |
|
Would you mind |
|
If I take you |
|
(To be with you) |
|
(To be with you) |
|
(To be with you) |
|
The sun seemed bright |
|
The air was clear |
|
The air was clear (clear) |
|
A trick of light |
|
Turned red into green |
|
She saw the light |
|
Her face was pale |
|
Her body smashed |
|
Her beauty's gone |
|
Isn't it a shame |
|
The reaper said |
|
He is quite alone here |
|
And still waiting for you |
|
Oh I really did fail for the first time |
|
Spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler |
|
The fiddler on the green |
|
The fiddler on the green |
|
It would be nice |
|
Take my hand |
|
Just hold my hand |
|
I'll take you there |
|
Your pain will go away |
