(MANDOLIN INTRO)
|
|
the blacksmith dreams of a white queen
|
|
the blacksmith dreams of a queen
|
|
the cobbler dreams of a gold ring
|
|
the cobbler dreams of a ring
|
|
and weeds grow wild on the village green
|
|
the red plum rots on the ground
|
|
and she lays there with a bright gold ring
|
|
and a pure white ivory crown
|
|
|
|
the wheelwright dreams of a jewel'd case
|
|
the wheelwright dreams of a case
|
|
the drover dreams of the queen's lace
|
|
the drover dreams of the lace
|
|
and weeds grow wild on the village green
|
|
the red plum rots on the ground
|
|
and she lays there with a bright jewel'd case
|
|
in a full length white lace gown
|
|
(MANDOLIN SOLO)
|
|
|
|
the crier dreams of a queen's face
|
|
the crier dreams of a face
|
|
the fletcher dreams of a royal place
|
|
the fletcher dreams of a place
|
|
and no one goes where the weeds bend deep
|
|
when the snow falls down on the town
|
|
and she lays there in a dreamless sleep
|
|
and the red plum can't be found
|
|
