Virginia's Real

Guy Clark

    Continues after the ad

    Now gents to the middle said a young girl's fiddle
    And you ain't got nothing to lose
    Allemande right she can play it all night
    She can fiddle of the bottom of your shoes

    Oh me oh my how she makes that bowhair fly
    How she hangs that music crystal in the air

    Continues after the ad

    Now promenade down to the lonesome sound of a whippoorwill in the night
    Sashay back look at old mad Jack huggin' everything in sight
    He said oh me oh my...
    [ fiddle ]
    Now Banjo Bill he stopped stock still as the notes come a rolling by
    And it filled his ears and eased his fears and a tear come to his eye
    He said oh me oh my...

    Now the old string bass 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 oh me oh my...
    [ fiddle ]
    Now it's golden strings on eagle's wings to the calling of the squares
    There's fiddle tunes and there's fiddle's tunes but Virginia's splittin' hairs
    He said oh me oh my...

    Now she cast a spell no tongue can tell no prophet can reveal
    Quiet as death hold your breath she played Virginia's real
    Oh me oh my...
    And it's oh me oh my...
