40.Minstrel Boy

Lyricist:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

A little boy sat cryin' on the floor
His daddy won't be comin' home no more
He cannot reason why his daddy had to die
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

So play violin, play
Play 'til the night is over
Music will wash away
All your sorrow

At seventeen, he thought he'd never cry
And then his angel had to say goodbye
But living must go on to face another dawn
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

So play violin, play
Play 'til the night is over
Music will wash away
All your sorrow

A moment later, life was just a dream
Remembering the things he'd done and seen
He now can reason why, he soon will have to die
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more
