"Play, Fiddle, Play"

VERSE
Now the Gypsy band,
Rest their caravan,
Where a hill conceals the Sun.

Dusky magic falls,
Gypsy music calls,
Calls to lovers one by one.

BREAK(?)
A lover strums his fiddle,
While he hums this little song,
M-m-m-m
This is his song,
M-m-m-m.

CHORUS
Play, fiddle, play,
Play my loved one a melody;
Sing to my love,
While the stars swing above;

Play, fiddle, play,
Sing my loved one a rhapsody,
Play on the strings of her heart.

VERSE 2 (or different BREAK?)
The campfires are gleaming,
As red as the sun,
And my heart keeps dreaming,
Just dreaming of one;
So softly croon,
While the moon weaves our two hearts in harmony;
Play, fiddle, play to my love.

Lyrics by Jack Lawrence, Music by Emery Deutsch & Arthur Altman.
