September seventeen

 To a girl I know it's mothers day

 Her son has gone alee

 And that's where he will stay

 Wind on the weathervane

 Tearing blue eyes sailor mean

 As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain

For a boy on Fiddler's Green

 His tiny knotted heart

 Well I guess it never worked too good

 The timber tore apart

 And the water gorged the wood

 You can hear her whispered prayer

 For men at masts that always lean

 The same wind that moves her hair

Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

 Oh, nothing's changed anyway

 Oh, nothing's changed anyway

 Anytime today

 He doesn't know a soul

 And there's nowhere that he's really been

 But he won't travel long alone

 No not on Fiddler's Green

 Balloons all filled with rain

 As children's eyes turn sleepy mean

 And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain

For a boy on Fiddler's Green
