The Yule Fiddler (Christmas Time Is Coming 'Round Today)

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
