I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
|
In the year of fifty six
|
Working on a t-flange
|
'Twas in need of fix
|
It bounded from the tongs
|
And there concealed my doom
|
|
I am a blind fiddler
|
Far frommy home
|
|
I have a wife and daughter
|
Depending on me
|
What good can I do them
|
My God I cannot see
|
I wander from one place to another
|
My daily bread to win
|
|
I am a blind fiddler
|
Looking for a friend
|
|
Round round up and down
|
All along the lonely town
|
See him sinkin' low
|
Doesn't see the love there is to know
|
|
And he cries
|
From the misery
|
And he lies
|
Singing harmony
|
She is gone
|
There is no tomorrow
|
It is done
|
So now he must borrow
|
The life of his brothers
|
And living in sorrow
|
He must do
|
For the others
|
|
A chill wind hits his face
|
Was that a tear
|
I thought I saw a trace
|
Loving people everywhere
|
Where is she
|
She is not there
|
|
And he cries
|
From the misery
|
And he lies
|
Singing harmony
|
She is gone
|
There is no tomorrow
|
It is done
|
So now he must borrow
|
The life of his brothers
|
And living in sorrow
|
He must do
|
For the others
|
|
Know you got to run
|
And you know you got to hide
|
Don't know who to follow
|
Who is on your side
|
Don't know where you're going
|
Won't talk of where you been
|
And I may see you tomorrow
|
Never more again
|
|
And you got yourself a potion
|
For to keep you from your sleep
|
In the dark and lonely hours
|
I've heard you laugh and weep
|
Talk about you're sinkin'
|
What a hole you're in
|
But you'll never face your lonely soul
|
Never face your friends
|
|
And you know you got to run
|
And you know you got to hide
|
Still there is a great light
|
Lingerin' deep within your eyes
|
Open up open up
|
C'mon and let me in
|
When you can love yourself honey I
|
I can love you then
|
|
I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
|
In seventeen fifty six
|
Working on a t-flange
|
'Twas in need of fix
|
It bounded from the tongs
|
And there concealed my doom
|
I am a blind fiddler
|
Far from my home
|
|
Round round up and down
|
All along the lonely town
|
