Little wheel, spin and spin,
Merry Christmas, Jingle bells,
Little wheel...
"Oh, the sins of Cesar's men!"
Little wheel...
Blame the angels, blame the fates,
Little wheel...
Turn your back on weeds you've hoed,
Little wheel...
"Swing your girl" the fiddlers say, Thanks! Mad Maudlin |

Is it possible that anyone could dig out the music or even the tab for this song it has been in my brain for what? About 25-30 years? Tha Lady that wrote it and all those other wonderful songs should be far more widely known and appreciated over here. Cheers tim In Grimsy UK. |

(twice) Merry Christmas, Jingle bells, Christ is born and the devil's in hell. Hearts they shrink, pockets swell, Everybody know and nobody tell. Little wheel... "Oh, the sins of Cesar's men!" Cry the pious citizens. Petty thieves, the five and tens, And the big wheel turn around and around. Little wheel... Blame the angels, blame the fates, Blame the [....] Teach your children who to hate And the big wheel turn around and around. Little wheel... Turn your back on weeds you've hoed, Silly sinful sins you've sowed. Add your straw to the camel's load, Pray like hell when the world explode. Little wheel... "Swing your girl" the fiddlers say, Later on the piper pay. Dosey-do, swing and sway, Dead will dance on Judgement Day. |

This song is featured in Sing Out vol. 53 No. 2 and can be heard on the singout.org site ATP. The score in Sing Out indicates that this is a one-chord song, in this case Em (or, given what they say about capoing at the third fret, possibly Gm, although the key signature on the score is Em). |
