Fairport Convention Lyrics of the Rolling Minstrels track

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)
