I'll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable --- |
|
six golden apples bought with my pay. |
|
I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune, |
|
but I must be gone by the seventh day. |

|
So come on, I'm the whistler. |
|
I have a fife and a drum to play. |
|
Get ready for the whistler. |
|
I whistle along on the seventh day --- |
|
whistle along on the seventh day. |
|
All kinds of sadness I've left behind me. |
|
Many's the day when I have done wrong. |
|
But I'll be yours for ever and ever. |
|
So come on, I'm the whistler. |
|
I have a fife and a drum to play. |
|
Get ready for the whistler. |
|
I whistle along on the seventh day --- |
|
whistle along on the seventh day. |
|
Deep red are the sun-sets in mystical places. |
|
Black are the nights on summer-day sands. |
|
We'll find the speck of truth in each riddle. |
|
Hold the first grain of love in our hands. |
