Fairport Convention (come All Ye) Rolling Minstrels
Come all ye rolling minstrels And together we will try To rouse the spirit of the earth And move the rolling sky Those that dance will start to dance And those who don't will stay In time to lis our merry tune That we play for you today (Chorus) So come all ye rolling minstrels And together we will try To rouse the spirit of the earth 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 (Chorus) Possessor of the magic touch And no magician he Will play for you some magic notes Instead, as you will see (Chorus) Sound of beating on the drum Song behind you'll hear And to the rhythm of guitar We hope you'll lend an ear (Chorus) 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 (Chorus)
