Pat Egan and Alex Caton do a very nice version of this on their new CD "Fiddle Tunes and Ballads." The words are slightly changed from those above. But the singing is very distinct and I had no trouble with the lyrics. WAYSIDE TAVERN - Peter Rowan, B. and Peggy Logan Winter wind, blowing down Snow covered ground Midnight sky as black as ink Snowflake stars, fallin' down. Wayside tavern window light Beckons unto me Tarry by the hearthside bright Seek your company. Chorus I dropped in, joined the din So carefree and so loud Just to lose ol' Mister blues Mingle with the crowd. Moonlight glows where the whisky flows Amber down my glass Burns my lips like your passionate kiss, I can't let you pass. Fiddles play love's melody Calls us to our dance And your eyes, like distant stars, Embrace me in your trance. (Chorus) Mornin' star, new fallen snow, Safe within my arms. And our breath in the frosty air Stranger to love's charms. Any time that you want me near From my way back to you, By the wayside tavern door With my old friend, Mister Blues (Chorus) Cheers, S. in Seattle
