about

An old Americana tune that deserved words. Very Brothers Grimm-ish words.

lyrics

When your time has come and you dance in the sun
There's one thing you'd best believe
When the day is done and there's none but one
You can bet your bonny ass it's me

It was early fall when you came to call
And the air was crisp and clean
As the fruit fell free from the apple tree
You plucked my fruit from me

Dance dance the pipers call
Sandy Boys are come, Sandy Boys are come along
Dance dance the pipers call
Won't you come and have a dance with me
Won't you come and have a dance with me

When the winter came you loved me just the same
As the nights grew longer still
Not a tear was shed in my warm feather bed
As you sang sweet songs to me

With the spring your gaze never left my face
With a smile meant just for me
But as the buds on the boughs slowly woke from their repose
You found a better place to be

Drink drink the pipers call
Sandy Boys are come, Sandy Boys are come along
Drink drink the pipers call
Won't you come and have a drink with me
Won't you come and have a drink with me

With the summer's bloom you left my room
And I thought I'd die from grief
But it's you instead who lost your pretty head
Now it's buried 'neath my apple tree

Dance dance the pipers call
Sandy Boys are come, Sandy Boys are come along
Dance dance the pipers call
Won't you come and have a dance with me
Won't you come and have a dance with me
Won't you come and have a dance with me

about

The Whiskey Jerks Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

The Whiskey Jerks came together when Gillian Snider, who no longer wanted to drink alone, felt it was time to expand upon her one woman accordiana show. After convincing the talented Anna Bekolay (violin), Sarah Scharf (clarinet), Nevin Buehler (upright bass), Peter Abonyi (guitar) and Aidan Weiman (drums) to join her on her misadventure, The Whiskey Jerks soon created their own distinct niche. ... more
