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
