The Yule Fiddler (Christmas Time Is Coming 'Round Today) - Patty Gurdy, Fiddler's Green

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 evn now

No one can warm it up

And now the Christmas time is coming round today

H’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!

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

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!

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

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!

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
