Key:  F


One night we were in session playing to each other's tune
There was quite a lot of people being crammed into the room
As the evening sped along more singers joined the crowd
With every opening of the door our song ever so loud
Then my tune fell silent as that door opened again
And standing out against the night a gipsy girl came in
She was of stunning beauty as she glanced over the room
she brought out her fiddle and she started playing along

And I couldn't help but wonder
where I had seen that face before
All her qualities and features
came together more and more
while she surpassed my every expectation

Well I just kept on playing like nothing could distract me less
having seen so many times before a pretty lass
So I tried to look at Harry and his brand new mandoline
at Jake and Mary on guitar and whistle playing Finn
But of course a little fire was stirring in my blood
and I could feel her body radiate from where I stood
My heart was brimming over when she yelled across the room
Hey you pretty stranger can you play a handsome tune

Now like that a challenge will not fall on my deaf ears
So I decide to do my best and bring the lot to tears
That was exactly what we did and with her style of play
she brought out something new in me while taking me away
to yonder stars and galaxies unto infinity
and made me understand the rapture of our unity
while we entertained ourselves with dual fiddle play
until the night was over and it started to be day

Ref:

I haven't been in love with any woman since
Her memory haunts me till today and makes my body wince
for I have found her in my heart and that is where she'll stay
until my life is over when it is my dying day
As I awoke next morning to prepare for a new day
I looked into the mirror and I was in disarray
for there I saw her looking at me with her loving eyes
She had been with me all my life to my utmost surprise
