Lyrics

As I was a-walking, one morning in spring
I met with some travellers, in an old country lane
One was an old man, the second a maid
The third was a young boy, who smiled as he said
With the wind in the willows, and the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us, wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes, and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey, with all of mankind
So I sat down beside them, with the gay flowers 'round
And we ate from a mantle, spread out on the ground
They told me of peoples, and prophets and kings
And all of the one god, who knew everything
With the wind in the willows, and the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us, wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes, and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey, with all of mankind
So I asked them to tell me, their names and their race
That I may remember, their kindness and grace
"My name, it is Joseph, this is Mary, my wife
And this is our young son, who is our dear life
With the wind in the willows, and the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us, wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes, and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey, with all of mankind
We are traveling to Glaston, through England's green lanes
To hear of men's troubles, to hear of men's pains
We travel the wide world, over lands and the sea
To tell all the people, how they can be free
With the wind in the willows, and the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us, wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes, and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey, with all of mankind
So sadly I left them, in that old country lane
I know that I never, shall see them again
One was an old man, the second a maid
The third was a young boy, who smiled as he said
With the wind in the willows, and the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us, wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes, and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey, with all of mankind
