The Hurdy Gurdy Man

Donovan

[Verse 1]
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

[Chorus]
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Come singing songs of love
And when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Come singing songs of love

[Refrain]
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man

[Verse 2]
Histories of ages past
Hung in light and shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

[Chorus]
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Come singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Come singing songs of love

[Refrain]
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man, singing songs of love
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly man
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man, singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
