The Whistler

I'll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable ---

Six golden apples bought with my pay.

I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune,

But i must be gone by the seventh day.

So come on, i'm the whistler.

I have a fife and a drum to play.

Get ready for the whistler.

I whistle along on the seventh day ---

Whistle along on the seventh day.



All kinds of sadness i've left behind me.

Many's the day when i have done wrong.

But i'll be yours for ever and ever.

Climb in the saddle and whistle along.



So come on, i'm the whistler.

I have a fife and a drum to play.

Get ready for the whistler.

I whistle along on the seventh day ---

Whistle along on the seventh day.



Deep red are the sun-sets in mystical places.

Black are the nights on summer-day sands.

We'll find the speck of truth in each riddle.

Hold the first grain of love in our hands.
