Ballad Of St. Annes Reel - Folk Songs From Scotland[00:00:00]
Written by:D. Mallet[00:00:02]
He was stranded in some tiny town[00:00:04]
On fair prince edward isle[00:00:07]
Awaitin' for a ship to come and find him[00:00:09]
A one horse place a friendly face[00:00:13]
Some coffee and a tiny trace[00:00:15]
Of fiddlin' in the distance far behind him[00:00:18]
A dime across the counter then[00:00:22]
A shy hello a brand new friend[00:00:24]
A walk along the street in the wintry weather[00:00:26]
A yellow light an open door[00:00:30]
And a welcome friend there's room for more[00:00:32]
And then they're standing there inside together[00:00:35]
He said I've heard that tune before somewhere[00:00:38]
But I can't remember when[00:00:41]
Was it on some other friendly shore[00:00:43]
Or did I hear it on the wind[00:00:45]
Was it written on the sky above[00:00:48]
I think I heard it from someone I loved[00:00:50]
But I never heard it sound so sweet since then[00:00:52]
Now his feet begin to tap[00:01:16]
A little boy says I'll take your hat[00:01:18]
He's caught up in the magic of her smile[00:01:20]
And leap the heart inside him went[00:01:25]
And off across the floor he sent[00:01:26]
His clumsy body graceful as a child[00:01:29]
He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm[00:01:32]
There's magic in this town[00:01:35]
There's magic in the dancers' feet[00:01:37]
And the way they put them down[00:01:39]
Smilin' people everywhere[00:01:43]
Boots and ribbons locks of hair[00:01:45]
And laughter and old blue suits and easter gowns[00:01:47]
Now the sailors' gone the room is bare[00:02:11]
The old piano settin' there[00:02:13]
Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack[00:02:15]
And empty chairs the wooden floor[00:02:19]
That feels the touch of shoes no more[00:02:21]
Awaitin' for the dancers to come back[00:02:23]
And the fiddle's in the closet[00:02:28]
Of some daughter of the town[00:02:29]
The strings are broke and the bow is gone[00:02:31]
And the cover's buttoned down[00:02:34]
But sometimes on december nights[00:02:37]
When the air is cold and the wind is right[00:02:39]
There's a melody that passes through this town[00:02:41]
