The Crossing - Three Little Drummers (from Africa)

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Inspired by a fiddle tune of the same name, Robert Beers envisioned a caravan moving across the desert, camels loaded with various goods, all led by three drummers. We see this caravan continuing through history, starting small at the birth of a Babe in a stable and making its way all around the world! lyrics Three little drummers stood on the high ground. They walked all about and they circled around. When they were abreast, three in a line, then off they did go for to follow the sign. Valley and stubble and river and rill, three little drummers came over the hill. Three drummers from Africa leading the way to play for the baby on Christmas day. Baker and beggar, soldier and Jew who do as they will or as other men do. When they were abreast, three in a line, then off they did go for to follow the sign. Sheep in the pasture did wander afar, to join with their brothers and follow the star. When they were abreast, three in a line, then off they did go for to follow the sign. Then cities did open and nations arise to follow their kings and the light in the skies. When they were abreast, three in a line, then off they did go for to follow the sign. from The Court of a King, released June 1, 1998 Words: Robert Beers; Music, Traditional Pat: bodhran; Tony: vocals, whistle, didgeridoo; Mark: harp, backing vocals; Mike: bass bodhran, backing vocals; Jennifer: fiddle; Hilde: tambourine, finger cymbals, backing vocals; Scott Knies: doumbek“
