He Plays The Violin Lyrics & Chords By Sherman Edwards

Oh, he never speaks his passions
He never speaks his views
Whereas other men speak volumes
The man I love is mute

In truth, I can't recall
Being wooed with words at all
Even now

He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh he bows
For he knows, yes he knows

That it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung

Heigh heigh heigh, heigh
I am undone

I hear his violin
And I get that feeling within
And I sigh, oh I sigh
He draws near, very near

And it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
And goodbye to the fiddle
My strings are unstrung

Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
I'm always undone

Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
Heigh

When heaven calls to me
Sing me sad elegy
Say I died
Loving bride
Loving wife
Loving life

For it was heigh, heigh, heigh diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
And ever 'twill be

Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
Through eternity

He plays the violin
He plays the violin
He plays the violin
