Dulcimer...
play me a song
'bout all the wrongs
that I have done.
Sweet Dulcimer...
in your strings and swirly grains
lie my life's story
and the way my river runs.
Ol' Lucifer...
leave me alone
for it's a long, hard road
that I have gone.
My darlin' fair...
in your sweet and lovely face
I see longing... I see despair
I see sorrow and despair.
Somewhere in the misty moonlight
I hear her music play
Sweet Dulcimer
take me home.
Sweet Dulcimer...take me away.
