    The Old Brown Fiddle
    As I sit by the fire I never tire
    To talk of the old days over
    When I danced and played
    And strolled and strayed
    When I was a rakish rover
    Methinks I glance at the old time dance
    Not the frivolous frolic of the forefinger
    When I rattled up ceol that would stir your soul
    From that old brown fiddle in the corner

    With the twang and the twiddle
    went the old brown fiddle
