colin douglas — the ceilidh singer - bread and fishes lyrics

[verse 1]
as i was a+walking
one morning in may
i met with some travellers
in an old country lane
the first was an old man
the second a maid
and the third was a young boy
who smiled as he said

[verse 2]
i sat down beside them
g+y flowers all around
and we ate from a mantle
set out on the ground
they told me of prophets
and princes and kings
and they told of the one god
who knows everything
[chorus]
“with the wind in the willows
and the birds in the sky
we’ve a bright sun to warm us
wherever we lie
we have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
to share on our journey
with all of mankind”

[verse 3]
i asked them to tell me
their name and their race
so that i might remember
their kindness and grace
“my name, it is joseph
this is mary, my wife
and this is our young son
our pride and delight
we travel the whole world
by land and by sea
to tell all the people
how they might be free

[chorus]
with the wind in the willows
and the birds in the sky
we’ve a bright sun to warm us
wherever we lie
we have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
to share on our journey
with all of mankind
[verse 4]
so sadly i left them
in the old country lane
for i knew that i never
would see them again
the first was an old man
second was a maid
and the third was a young boy
who smiled as he said

[chorus]
“with the wind in the willows
and the birds in the sky
we’ve a bright sun to warm us
wherever we lie
we have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
to share on our journey
with all of mankind
we have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
to share on our journey
with all of mankind”
