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
