Lyrics

Come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

And move the rolling sky

Those that dance will start to dance

And those who don't will sway

In time to this our merry tune

That we play for you today

So come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

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

So come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

And move the rolling sky

Possessor of the magic touch

But no magician

He will play for you some magic notes

Instead, as you will see

So come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

And move the rolling sky

The sound of beating on the drums

From behind you hear

And to the rhythm of guitar

We hope you'll lend an ear

So come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

And move the rolling sky

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

So come all ye rolling minstrels

And together we will try

To rouse the spirit of the air

And move the rolling sky
