Blackmore's Night

1.As ^D I went a ^G walking
one ^A morning in ^F#mi spring
I ^Hmi met with some ^Emi travellers
on an ^A old country ^D lane
^D One was an ^G old man
the ^A second a ^F#mi maid
the ^Hmi third was a ^Emi young boy
who ^A smiled as he ^D said

R.:"With the ^G wind in the ^D willows
The ^G birds in the ^D sky
There`s a ^G bright sun to ^D warm us
wher ^Emi ever we ^A lie...
We ^D have bread and ^G fishes
and a ^A jug of red ^F#mi wine
To ^Hmi share on our ^Emi journey
with ^A all... of man ^D kind."

2.So I asked them to tell me
their names and their race
So I could remember
each smile on their face
"Our names, they mean nothing
They change troughout time
So come sit beside us
and share in our wine."

R

3.So I sat down beside them
with flowers all around
We ate from a mantle
spread out on the ground
They told me of prophets
and peoples and kings
And all of the one god
who knows everything
4."We`re travelling to Glaston
over England`s green lanes
To hear of men`s troubles
to hear of their pains
We travel the wide world
over land and the sea
To tell all the people
How they can be free...!"

R

5.So sadly I left them
on that old country lane
For I knew that I`d never
see them again
One was an old man
the second a maid
the third was a young boy
who smiled as he said...
