With the winter time upon ya
No better time to find ya
A place to call your home
And a bride of all your own, yeah
Go outside of the town
Find the girl that was sent down for you

There's a death defying banquet
And liquor by the tankard
To pour across the stones
And wash over the old bones
We'll awaken the deceased
there's no need to call the priest
And if the devils at the gate
Give him drink and let him wait
We will drink to friends and foes
While our cup it overflows

Bye bye lover never cry
You know I'd never lie
But now the gypsy dancer caught my eye
The broken hearted never die
I'm begging you, lover
never cry, bye bye

Theres warnings for the young man
And blessings for the bride
Curses for the townsfolk
Who lock themselves inside
And the tinkers, tramps & thieves,
Oh, the bodies fall like leaves,
They're still screaming at the sky
And the music never dies
Til the days melt into one,
And we crash into the sun
