Hurdy gurdy man - DONOVAN

Back Vocal

Ooh, ooh.
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep,
I open my eyes to take a peep

to find that I was by the sea,
gazing with tranquility.

'Twas then when the hurdy-gurdy man
came singing songs of love,

then when the hurdy-gurdy man
came singing songs of love.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Histories of ages past,
unenlightened shadows cast.

Down through all eternity,
the crying of humanity.

'Tis then when the hurdy-gurdy man
comes singing songs of love,

then when the hurdy-gurdy man
comes singing songs of love.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurd'.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Here comes the roly-poly man,
he's singing songs of love.

Roly-poly, roly-poly,
roly-poly-poly he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.

Hurdy-gurdy, hurdy-gurdy,
hurdy-gurdy-gurdy he sang.
