Lyrics The Fiddler - Foster , Allen
There
was
an
ol'
fiddler
in
days
of
yore,
And
he
lived
in
the
town
of
Ballymore
He
was
asked
to
play
for
the
king
one
day
But
the
only
tune
that
he
could
play
was
Na,na,um,na,na
Na,na,um,na,na
Um,na,um,na,um,na,na
Da
diddly-dum
da
day-ee
And
when
the
king
he
heard
this
noise
He
looked
at
him
in
deep
surprise
He
said:
guards
take
this
man
away
For
the
only
tune
that
he
could
play
is
Na,na,um,na,na
Na,na,um,na,na
Um,na,um,na,um,na,na
Da
diddly-dum
da
day-ee
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
Na,na,um,na,na
Na,na,um,na,na
Um,na,um,na,um,na,na
Da
diddly-dum
da
day-ee
And
the
devils
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
Na,na,um,na,na
Na,na,um,na,na
Um,na,um,na,um,na,na
Da
diddly-dum
da
day-ee
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
fiddler
play
Na,na,um,na,na
Na,na,um,na,na
Um,na,um,na,um,na,na
Da
diddly-dum
da
day-ee
