Fairport Convention
Come All Ye
[Refrain]
Come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
So come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
So come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
[Verse 3]
Possessor of the magic touch
But no magician, he
Will play, for you, some magic notes
Instead, as you will see
[Refrain]
So come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
[Verse 4]
The sound of beating on the drum
From behind, you hear
And to the rhythm of guitar
We hope you'll lend an ear
[Refrain]
So come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
So come all ye rolling minstrels and together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air and move the rolling sky
