[Verse 1]
Shadow cloak, swift as a swallow
Pantaloon, down in the hollow
Dancing, his voice like a cloud
In the death of my night

[Verse 2]
Awful eyes, black Persian beggar
Harlequinesque, hair plaited heather
Stepping so lightly
A sprite in the house of my sight

[Chorus]
O m'dear, travelling tragition
It's sky clear, you're a gift from the fair folk

[Verse 3]
Shadow cloak, swift as a swallow
Pantaloon, down in the hollow
Stepping so lightly
A sprite in the house of my sight

[Chorus]
O m'dear, travelling tragition
It's sky clear, you're a gift from the fair folk
O m'dear, travelling Tragition
It's sky clear, you're a gift from the fair folk
