Monica Engeler - The Fiddler

I offer my fiddle for your pleasures
My music will certainly be a treasure
Come and dance to the lands folk lore
The beat locks a partner you will adore.

One two three, one two three tap, tap, tap
A step here and a step there is a real rap
The country fiddler’s bow plays forever joy
A unique sound concerts the floor like a toy.

One by one the stage filled with artists dancing
My fiddle is a smashing hit for this one evening
When the song and prance at last came to an end,
The listeners asked for an encore of the jazzy trend.

Around the twelfth hour, I played the final tone
A young man bowed adieu and left me all alone
How sad to see such a superb evening exist in
I lay my instrument down and into a secure bin.

When I settled to go, an admirer smiled at me.
He passed me a rose and a kiss for all to see
Thank you for the beautiful melodies tonight
The crowd and I will leave feeling all right.

Your welcome, I promise to come before long.
When I see the floor full of dancers akin to song,
My heart cries to play more tunes for all to hear.
Now I say goodbye and leave seeing no tears.
