TraditionalThe Fiddler Lyrics
Why upon this lovely day
Must that wretched fiddler play
All the sky once stainless blue
Every note he strikes untrue
Summer deep, embowered in flowers
Silent music, in the hours
In the east a feather moon
Man that fiddler out of tune
God's hand never slipped a mar
At the making of a star
There no truce excuse yet made
For the bungler at his prey
