Fiddler's Green Market Day
Fiddler's Green - Market Day
As I went down the market place
What do you think I seen?
But a fine young piper lassie
A linking over the green
She played a reel and she played a jig
She played the "Sweets of May"
And she tossed my hair till the roots stood still
To the tapping of my toes
chorus:
Hey laddie, ho laddie
Dira ma doo a day
She sang a song by Fiddler's Green
She sang "Don't Turn Away"
And when I listened to these words
I knew I had to stay
Now I have naught to offer you
This young girl she did say
But you'll gain love and freedom
If you'll come away with me
Then she took out her chanter
and she began to play
And I chose love and freedom
I'll wander all of my days
As I went down the market place
What do you think I seen?
But a fine young piper lassie
A linking over the green
