He Plays the Violin Lyrics


Martha:
Oh he never speaks his passion
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 hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Hi-hi-hi-hi
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 hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
And it's goodbye to the fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Hi-hi-hi-hi
I'm always undone

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

For it was hi-hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
'Twixt my heart, Tom, and his fiddle
And ever 'twill be
Hi-hi-hi-hi
Through eternity

He plays the violin.
