    WHEN WINTER CALLS (2005)
    Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly are again full of surprises in their ninth CD as they explore traditional American and Celtic folk music with a winter holiday theme. Recorded live in December 2004 at the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland, RI, this beautifully recorded concert is filled with deeply rooted songs of winter, travel, longing, worship, rest, light, and celebration. Gorgeous, seasoned voices blend with skillful instrumentation on mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistle, feet, limberjacks, and spoons.
    Happy holidays!

about

A-Roving On A Winter's Night
Dolly Greer, A. Doc Watso, BMI

lyrics

While roving on a winter's night and drinking good old wine
Thinking about that dear little girl she broke this heart of mine
Well she is like a budded rose that blooms in the month of June
She's like some music instrument that's just been lately tuned

Well whose gonna shoe your pretty little foot
And who will glove your hand
And who will kiss your rosy cheeks and who will be your man

Papa will shoe my pretty little foot, and Mama will glove my hand
And sister can kiss my rosy cheeks 'cause I don't need no man

Instrumental

Perhaps I'll go to a far off land, a trip to France or Spain
And if I go 10,000 miles, I'm coming back again
I love you til the seas run dry and the rocks all melt in the sun
I'll love you til the day I die, though you won't be my one

Instrumental

While roving on a winter's night and drinking good old wine
Thinking about that dear little girl she broke this heart of mine
Thinking about that dear little girl she broke this heart of mine
