When the work is done Under August sun We will dance all night Under paintbrush skies Tune your fiddle and come When the day is done Play a merry tune For the shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing - singin' shadow and sun Mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm ♪ And when the hard times come And the shadows fall With your worn-out shoes And a weary soul Bring your fiddle and come When the day is done Play the merry tune Called the shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing - singin' shadow and sun Mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm ♪ 'Til we meet again By the bonfire light As I walk out And face the wind and rain I will whistle and hum When the day is done Sing our merry tune For the shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing shadow and sun Oh shadow and sun Oh sing - singin' shadow and sun
