Tommy Makem - The Rambles Of Spring lyrics

rate me

There's a piercing wintry breeze <br />

Blowing through the budding trees <br />

And I button up my coat to keep me warm <br />

But the days are on the mend <br />

And I'm on the road again <br />

With my fiddle snuggled close beneath my arm <br />

<br />

Chorus: <br />

I've a fine, felt hat <br />

And a strong pair of brogues <br />

I have rosin in my pocket for my bow <br />

O my fiddle strings are new <br />

And I've learned a tune or two <br />

So, I'm well prepared to ramble and must go <br />

<br />

I'm as happy as a king <br />

When I catch a breath of spring <br />

And the grass is turning green as winter ends <br />

And the geese are on the wing <br />

And the thrushes start to sing <br />

And I'm headed down the road to see my friends <br />

<br />

Chorus <br />

<br />

I have friends in every town <br />

As I wander up and down <br />

Making music at the markets and the fairs <br />

Through the donkeys and the creels <br />

And the farmers making deals <br />

And the yellow headed tinkers selling wares <br />

<br />

Chorus <br />

<br />

Here's a health to one and all <br />

To the big and to the small <br />

To the rich and poor alike and foe and friends <br />

And when I return again <br />

May our foes have turned to friends <br />

And may peace and joy be with you until then <br />

<br />

Chorus
