Mummer's Dance by Loreena McKennitt COVER with Lyrics

This is the Mummer's Dance by Loreena McKennitt. I really love this song and enjoyed doing it as a special request from one of my viewers. Thank you for asking! ^^
Chords used: Am, G, D, Em

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Thanks for watching! :)

@dbenasic Thanks, dbenasic. I hope I'll get around to it. It's a pretty song, but, yes, will sound VERY different from the original if I sing it. ^^ <3 I hope I won't disappoint you.

@ShaDoWCa7 That's completely understandable. I thought your version was very well done, yet different than original. I would really like to see how would your Lady in Black look like, because I think that song would fit you like a glove, but no rush.
