He Plays the Violin

about

from 1776
Music & Lyrics by Sherman Edwards

lyrics

He never speaks his passions
He never speaks his views
Whereas other men speak volumes
The man I love is mute
In truth, I can't recall
Being wooed with words at all
Even now

He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh he bows
For he knows, yes he knows
That it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
I am undone

I hear his violin
And I get that feeling within
And I sigh, oh I sigh
He draws near, very near
And it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
And goodbye to the fiddle!
My strings are unstrung
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
I'm always undone

When Heaven calls to me
Sing me no sad elegy
Say I died, loving bride
Loving wife, loving life

For it was heigh, heigh, heigh diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
And ever 'twill be!
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
Through eternity!
