"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.
