Tommy Makem - The Rambles Of Spring lyrics

There's a piercing wintry breeze Blowing through the budding trees And I bu*ton up my coat to keep me warm But the days are on the mend And I'm on the road again With my fiddle snuggled close beneath my arm [Chorus] I've a fine, felt hat And a strong pair of brogues I have rosin in my pocket for my bow O my fiddle strings are new And I've learned a tune or two So, I'm well prepared to ramble and must go I'm as happy as a king When I catch a breath of spring And the gra** is turning green as winter ends And the geese are on the wing And the thrushes start to sing And I'm headed down the road to see my friends [Chorus] I have friends in every town As I wander up and down Making music at the markets and the fairs Through the donkeys and the creels And the farmers making deals And the yellow headed tinkers selling wares [Chorus] Here's a health to one and all To the big and to the small To the rich and poor alike and foe and friends And when I return again May our foes have turned to friends And may peace and joy be with you until then [Chorus]
