The summer joy is surely gone When every clock the hour had on Last night we masqued and merry made Under the full moon madness played An older witch she danced with me And later sat upon my knee A fiddler flashed his fiddler's grin To hell and back from lock to chin 2. The witch was clean pushed off my knee By one born one day after me And we went home with lock and key She left me in the morning I slept on till one o'clock And we walked out like a concrete block I drank some whiskey and I drank it hot On the first day of winter CHORUS: Ancient rain, pouring down Wire my bones to the ground Ancient rain, pouring down Wire my bones to the ground 3. The summer joy is surely gone When every clock the hour had on Last night we massed and merry made Under the full moon madness played While these demons taunt in pagan time Past and present now in rhyme Two hands that squeeze my life away On this the holy All Saints Day. CHORUS (Recorded by Jimmy McCarthy) |
