virginia's reel - guy clark lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
now gents to the middle said a young girls fiddle
and you ain’t got nothing to lose
allemande right she can play it all night
she can fiddle off the bottom of your shoes

[chorus]
oh me, oh my, how she makes that bow hair fly
how she hangs that music in the air

[verse 2]
now promenade down to the lonesome sound
of a whippoorwill in the night
sashay back look at old mad jack
hugging everything in sight, he said

[chorus]

[verse 3]
now banjo bill he stopped stock still
as the notes came a rolling by
and it filled his ears and eased his fears
and a tear come to his eye, he said

[chorus]

[verse 4]
now the old string b-ss he lost his place
and his arms they felt like steel
and the guitar man dropped both his hands
and he swore it was not real, he said

[chorus]

[verse 5]
now it’s golden strings on eagles wings
to the calling of the squares
and there’s fiddle tunes and there’s fiddle tunes
but virginia’s splitting hairs

[chorus]

[verse 6]
now she cast a spell no tongue can tell
no prophet can reveal
and quiet as death, hold your breath
she played virginia’s real

[chorus][x2]
