lyrics

This fiddle here is a precious thing
It's been heard by Sultan, Prince and King
If you listen hard and you listen well
It's grand old tale I'm proud to tell

Yes this violin is a treasure rare
Though it's only pine and pearl and hair
What I'll relate I swear is true
Apart from the bits when I lie to you

Tap your heel and point your toe
Saddle up to the bridge we go

Danny O he worked the mine
In a northern town before our time
His pick was sharp and his eye was keen
Found this fiddle buried in a seam

He dug it out and took it home
and across the strings he drew the bow
Strong as granite, old as tin
Rich as marble, sweet as sin

Tap your heel and point your toe
Saddle up to the bridge we go

A fiddle is a wild you mare
Tamed by day and month and year
Bit by bit he broke her in
Tucked beneath his bearded chin

If you could only hear him play
You'd swear by morning, night and day
That angels couldn't play so well
Nor all the devils down in hell

Tap your heel and point your toe
Saddle up to the bridge we go

When the draft knocked on his door
Press-ganged him to cruel war
Friend and foe would stop and sigh
To hear him play before the fight
For either friend or foe must die

And all alone across the sea
His violin for company
He played his passage back to home
With this piece of wood and hair and bone
This violin it saw him home

Tap your heel and point your toe
Saddle up to the bridge we go

Danny O he passed away
His family still grieve today
His violin it missed him too
Like a heart it split in two

Well I fixed it good and I fixed it true
And I'll play it sweet and high for you
So raise your glass and toast his fame
For Danny was my father's name
Yes Danny was my father's name
