Chorus:
Play fiddle, play, Play my loved one a melody,
Sing to my love, While the stars swing above,
Play fiddle, play, Sing my loved one a rhapsody,
Play on the strings of her heart.
The campfires are gleaming as red as the Sun;
And my heart keeps dreaming, Just dreaming of one;
So softly croon, While the moon weaves our two hearts in harmony;
Play fiddle, Play to my love.
