|
Come all ye rolling minstrels, |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky. |
|
Those that dance will start to dance |
|
And those who don't will sway |
|
In time to this our merry tune |
|
That we play for you today |
|
So come all ye rolling minstrels |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky |
|
Our fiddler, he just loves to play |
|
And that's why he plays so good. |
|
And now he plays a violin |
|
Made out of solid wood. |
|
So come all ye rolling minstrels |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky |
|
Possessor of the magic touch, |
|
But no magician, he |
|
Will play for you some magic notes |
|
Instead as you will see. |
|
So come all ye rolling minstrels |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky. |
|
The sound of beating on the drums |
|
From behind you hear, |
|
And to the rhythm of guitar |
|
We hope you'll lend an ear. |
|
So come all ye rolling minstrels |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky |
|
Well, the man who plays the bass does make |
|
Those low notes that you hear. |
|
And the high notes come from you and me |
|
For we will sing so clear |
|
So come all ye rolling minstrels |
|
And together we will try |
|
To rouse the spirit of the air |
|
And move the rolling sky. |
