The Yule Fiddler

[Verse 1] On every winter’s evening He’s playing for the queen and king When Yuletide’s here, the people cheer: “Come on and tune up your strings.” You hear the joyful bells, they ring They’re waiting to hear the fiddle sing Our maestro’s hiding from the stage He won’t play a single thing Cause one last winter’s evening His sweetheart left our fiddler lad His heart froze cold and evеn now No one can warm it up [Chorus] And now the Christmas time is coming round today Hе’s wondering: Why oh why doesn’t it come my way? Oh where’s my soulmate waiting for my snowy heart? If so make sure no one can keep us apart! [Verse 2] Now all you people, hush and listen We’re gonna find the one that’s missing! Our fiddler boy, he’s oh so blue It hurts to see him low Come, everyone, and saddle your horses We’ll look for Eilidh Goldenrose The miller took her as his wife – She was not to refuse [Chorus] And now the Christmas time is coming round today He’s wondering: Why oh why doesn’t it come my way? Oh where’s my soulmate waiting for my snowy heart? If so make sure no one can keep us apart! [Verse 3] They found poor Eilidh hiding Cause she ran away from the miller Now the fiddler and his Goldenrose Are finally together And now at last he starts to bow All come to hear the fiddler’s sound And every lad he grabs a gall And spins her round and round [Chorus] And now the Christmas time is coming round today He’s finally coming out so we can hear him play! He has his soulmate and he has a warmed up heart Now let’s make sure no one can keep them apart! And now the Christmas time is coming round today He’s finally coming out so we can hear him play! He has his soulmate and he has a warmed up heart Now let’s make sure no one can keep them apart! [Coda] Now there’s so much in his heart That a true artiste will show And still when the party’s over His soul is chanting on
