    (continued from previous page)
    And received a kindly greeting
    And through the night made all hearts light
    Till morning mists were fleeting
    5
    And when comes the end and from every friend
    Of youthful days I'll sever
    That old brown fiddle with the crack in the middle
    From me will be parted never
    What - eer betide through the years that glide
    Till approches deaths grim warner
    Till I go above my fondest love
    That old brown fiddle in the corner.
