G'day,
Here's a song that fits the description. If anyone knows more let us know. Especially the name of the author.

THE WEDDING AT STANTON DREW

The sun shone hot on the holy grey stone walls of the village church
And from their homes along the road the villagers they marched
All in their best they all were dressed to greet the bride and groom
Yes laughter filled the air that fateful day at Stanton Drew.

The sermon o'er the couple kissed the service now is done
And to the village green the congregation now must run
The piper strikes a merry note and boldly starts to play
We'll eat and drink and laugh and sing and dance away the day.

All the food is gone the wine's all drunk they only want to dance
And any pretty girl who wants to rest can't stand a chance
But as the village clock strikes twelve to end the wedding day
The piper blows his last note and his music fades away.

Oh piper won't you play for me the lady softly begged
But the piper stood with his pipes beside and he firmly shook his head
Midnight has struck it's Sunday now I can no longer play
For it's only the devil's children will dance on the sabbath day.

Well they loudly scoffed they scorned the man for having such beliefs
But trusting men of God will always stand close by their faith
No bribery nor change to praise(???) could ever bring him back
And no-one noticed join the ring the man all dressed in black.

Diabolical (original meaning) fiddle lead break.

Oh piper won't you play for me the lady softly begged
But the piper stood with his pipes beside and he firmly shook his head
Midnight has struck it's Sunday now I can no longer play
For it's only the devil's children will dance on the sabbath day.

What can I do the lady cried we'd only just begun
But with no music for your ears you might as well go home
Well I'll play the violin for you a voice came from the back
And that is when they turned and saw the man all dressed in black.

Now no-one knew just what it was that chilled your very soul
But something in this stranger's way just made your blood run cold
And then his music soared away up through the village street
The rhythm held each wedding guest and brought them to their feet.

They danced and danced till each and every one was fit to drop
And as his music soared away the time came to a stop
I'll play the violin for you a voice came from the back
And that is when they turned and saw the man all dressed in black.

Oh the wind it howled the lightning flashed and thunder loudly cracked
I'll make you dance the devil laughed till the flesh falls from your back
Then suddenly the music stopped the man in black was gone
Of the bride & groom & their wedding guests there was nothing left but stone.

Well the sun came up on the Sunday morn and dew lay on the ground
The piper stood by the ring of stones and he sadly looked around
As he understood just what he saw his eyes were full of tears
And all the while the lady's words kept ringing in his ears.

Oh piper won't you play for me the lady had softly begged
But the piper stood with his pipes beside and he sadly shook his head
Midnight it came it's Sunday now I could no longer play
And it was only the devil's children that danced on the sabbath day.

Oh piper won't you play for me the lady softly begged
But the piper stood with his pipes beside and he firmly shook his head
Midnight has struck it's Sunday now I can no longer play
For it's only the devil's children will dance on the sabbath day.

Cheers,
Alan
