(come All Ye) Rolling Minstrels Lyrics - Fairport Convention

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)
