Songtext
0:00The minstrel of the dawn is here
0:03To make you laugh and bend your ear
0:08Up the steps you'll hear him climb
0:11All full of thoughts all full of rhymes
0:16Listen to the pictures flow
0:19Across the room into your mind they go
0:25Listen to the strings
0:30They jangle and dangle
0:33While the old guitar rings
0:38The minstrel of the dawn is he
0:42Not too wise but oh so free
0:46He'll talk of life out on the street
0:49He'll play it sad and say it sweet
0:54Look into his shining face
0:56Of lonelines you'll always find a trace
1:03Just like me and you
1:08He's tryin' to get into things
1:11More happy than blue
1:26A minstrel of the changin' tide
1:28He'll ask for nothing but his pride
1:32Just sit him down upon that chair
1:35Go fetch some wine and set it there
1:39Listen to the pictures flow
1:41Across the room into your where they go
1:46Listen to the strings
1:49They jangle and dangle
1:52While the old guitar rings
1:56A minstrel of the dawn is near
1:58Just like a step 'n fetchit here
2:02He's like an old time troubador
2:03Just wanting life and nothing more
2:08Look into his shining eyes
2:10And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
2:16Like me and you
2:19He's tryin' to get into things
2:21More happy than blue
2:25The minstrel boy will understand
2:28He holds a promise in his hand
2:32He talks of better days ahead
2:34And by his words your fortune's read
2:38Listen to the pictures flow
2:40Across the room into your mind they go
2:45Listen to the strings
2:48They jangle and dangle
2:51While the old guitar rings
2:55The minstrel of the dawn is gone
2:57I hope he'll call before too long
3:01And if you meet him you must be
3:03The victim of his minstrelsy
3:07He'll sing for you a song
3:11The minstrel of the dawn
The minstrel of the dawn is here To make you laugh and bend your ear Up the steps you'll hear him climb All full of thoughts all full of rhymes Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your mind they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings The minstrel of the dawn is he Not too wise but oh so free He'll talk of life out on the street He'll play it sad and say it sweet Look into his shining face Of lonelines you'll always find a trace Just like me and you He's tryin' to get into things More happy than blue A minstrel of the changin' tide He'll ask for nothing but his pride Just sit him down upon that chair Go fetch some wine and set it there Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your where they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings A minstrel of the dawn is near Just like a step 'n fetchit here He's like an old time troubador Just wanting life and nothing more Look into his shining eyes And if you see a ghost don't be surprised Like me and you He's tryin' to get into things More happy than blue The minstrel boy will understand He holds a promise in his hand He talks of better days ahead And by his words your fortune's read Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your mind they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings The minstrel of the dawn is gone I hope he'll call before too long And if you meet him you must be The victim of his minstrelsy He'll sing for you a song The minstrel of the dawn
