On every winter's evening
He's playing for the queen and king
When yuletide's here, the people cheer
Come out and tune up your strings

You hear the joyful bells, they ring
They're waiting to hear the fiddle sing
Our maestro's hiding from the stage
He won't play a single thing

'Cause one last winter's evening
His sweetheart left our fiddler lad
His heart froze cold and even now
No one can warm it up

And now the Christmas time is coming 'round today
He's wondering: Why oh why doesn't it come my way?
Oh where's my soulmate waiting for my snowy heart?
If so make sure no one can keep us apart

Now all you people, hush and listen
We're gonna find the one that's missing
Our fiddler boy he's oh so blue
It hurts to see him low

Come everyone and saddle your horse
We'll look for Eilidh Goldenrose
The miller took her as his wife
She was not to refuse

And now the Christmas time is coming 'round today
He's wondering: Why oh why doesn't it come my way?
Oh where's my soulmate waiting for my snowy heart?
If so make sure no one can keep us apart

They found poor Eilidh hiding
'Cause she ran away from the miller
Now the fiddler and his Goldenrose
Are finally together

And now at last he starts to bow
All come to hear the fiddler's sound
And every lad he grabs a gal
And spins her round and round

And now the Christmas time is coming 'round today
He's finally coming out so we can hear him play
He has his soulmate and he has a warmed up heart
Now let's make sure no one can keep them apart

And now the Christmas time is coming 'round today
He's finally coming out so we can hear him play
He has his soulmate and he has a warmed up heart
Now let's make sure no one can keep them apart

Now there's so much in his heart
That a true artist will show
And still when the party's over
His soul is chanting on
