McCalmans – Bread And Fishes Chords

As I went a walking one morning in spring
I met with some travelers in an old country lane
One was an old man the second a maid,
And the third was a young boy who smiled as he said:

With the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
There’s a bright sun to warm us whereever we lie,
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

I sat down beside them with the gay flowers around,
And we ate from a mantle spread out on the ground
They told me of peoples and prophets and kings
And all of the one god who knew everything

With the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
There’s a bright sun to warm us whereever we lie,
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

So I asked them to tell me their name and their race
That I may remember their kindness and grace.
My name it is Joseph, this is Mary my wife
And this is our young son, who is our dear life

With the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
There’s a bright sun to warm us whereever we lie,
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

We are traveling to Glaston, through England’s green lanes,
To hear of men’s troubles, to hear of men’s pains.
We travel the wide world, o’er the lands and the seas
To tell all the people how they can be free

With the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
There’s a bright sun to warm us whereever we lie,
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

So sadly, I left them, in that old country lane
I know that I never shall see them again
One was an old man, the second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said

With the wind in the willows and the birds in the sky,
There’s a bright sun to warm us whereever we lie,
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
