The Fiddler Lyrics And Chords By Foster And Allen
Along with The Fiddler song which is traditional I have included a more recent one called We Owe It All To You. There's a similar titled song here that was covered by Irish funnyman Seamus Moore which is called The Fiddle song but a different story altogether.

[D]There was an old fiddler in the [G]days of yore
And he [A]lived in the town of [D]Ballymore He was asked to play for the [G]king one day But the [A]only tune that he could play Was na na na noot-in na chorus [A]na na na noot-in na Noot-in a noot-in a noot-in a day [A7]na diddle noot-in a day And when the king he heard this noise He looked at hime in deep surprise He said, guard take this man away For the only tune that he can play is Chorus Well he was hung and sent to hell And the devil said can you fiddle well He said, the truth to you I'll say The only tune that I can play is The devil's ears began to swell Said, there's no place for you in hell So away with you now back to your king You can take along your fiddle and thing with your So all you people young and old Who live in the town of Ballymore If you're near the palace at the close of day You may just hear the fiddle play. |
We Owe It All To You Lyrics
In nineteen hundred and seventy five The journey did begin With songs about The Blacksmith And The Rambles Of Spring Later came THe Bunch Of Time And made our dreams come true When we toped the pops in England Back in 1982. Chorus Forty years upon the stage Of how the time has flown With our good friends around us We never walked alone You've always been our guiding light In everything we do I'm Foster and I'm Allen And we owe it all to you. I will love you all my life A song dear to our hearts New Zealand and Australia called When Maggie toped the charts They loved our songs in Canada And in the U.S.A. South Africa holds memories We cherish to this day. We often wonder to ourselves Just where the time has gone But the Old Flame is still burning And the show goes on and on So we keep on playing the old squeeze box And the songs you want to hear And we're glad you hold us in you're hearts After All These Years Repeat chorus |
