C F G7 Em
As I went a-walking one morning in spring
Am Dm G7 C
I met with some travelers in an old country lane
C F G7 Em
One was an old man the second a maid,
Am Dm G7 C
And the third was a young boy who smiled as he said
[Chorus]
F C F C
We’ve the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
F C F G7
We've a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie,
C F G7 Em
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
Am Dm G7 C
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
[Verse 2]
C F G7 Em
I sat down beside them, the flowers all around,
Am Dm G7 C
And we ate on a mantle spread out on the ground
C F G7 Em
They told me of prophets and princes and kings
Am Dm G7 C
And they spoke of the one God who knows everything
[Chorus]
F C F C
Like the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
F C F G7
We've a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie,
C F G7 Em
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
Am Dm G7 C
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
[Verse 3]
C F G7 Em
I asked them to tell me their name and their race
Am Dm G7 C
So I might remember their kindness and grace.
C F G7 Em
My name is Joseph, this is Mary my wife
Am Dm G7 C
And this is our young son, our pride and delight
C F G7 Em
We travel the whole world, by land and by sea
Am Dm G7 C
To tell all the people how they might be free
[Chorus]
F C F C
Like the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
F C F G7
We've a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie,
C F G7 Em
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
Am Dm G7 C
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
[Verse 4]
C F G7 Em
Sadly, I left them, in an old country lane
Am Dm G7 C
For I knew that I never would see them again
C F G7 Em
One was an old man, the second a maid
Am Dm G7 C
And the third was a young boy who smiled as he said
[Chorus]
F C F C
We’ve the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
F C F G7
We've a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie,
C F G7 Em
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
Am Dm G7 C
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
