Sad voices they're calling
our precious girl she can't be gone
how bitter this morning
when daddy's darling
went out and started her day
Wasn't there a dream last night
like a spring never ending
still the water runs clear
through my mind
on the field i can see a fiddler
the fiddler on the green and the sad boy
i took him too early
would you mind
would you mind
would you mind
if i take you
To be with you
to be with you
to be with you
to be with you
The sun seemed bright
the air was clear
the air was clear
a trick of light
turned red into green
she saw the light
her face was pale
her body smashed
her beauty's gone
Isn't it a shame
the reaper said
he is quite alone here
and still waiting for you
oh i really did fail for the first time
spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler
the fiddler on the green
the fiddler on the green
it would be nice�
Take my hand
Just hold my hand
i'll take you there
your pain will go away
