[Verse 1]
Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?
Will you put down your fiddle and pray?
That the world has begun with the birth of the sun
And its death, the very same day
"Now kiss me, young lover," cried Maggie the glover
"We're a village of babes and I'm over the moon"
"Where's all your fellas, those young buck propellers?"
Cried Willie, who swam in the room full of swoon
[Chorus 1]
Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?
Will you put down your fiddle and pray?
That the world has begun with the birth of the sun
And its death, the very same day
[Bridge]
Still the fiddle brightly sung
Its hornpipe playing
It's a Londonderry tune, long gone's the afternoon
We'll sing "Ever and more and ever will be"
[Verse 2]
The old men he'd seen, all cracked teeth with glee
Brought gold for the boy who could carry all time
For they, in dear guardianship, sailing a broken ship
Wizened, had aged in pursuit of the wine
Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?
Will you put down your fiddle and pray?
That the world has begun with the birth of the sun
And its death, the very same day
"Now kiss me, young lover," cried Maggie the glover
"We're a village of babes and I'm over the moon"
"Where's all your fellas, those young buck propellers?"
Cried Willie, who swam in the room full of swoon
[Chorus 1]
Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?
Will you put down your fiddle and pray?
That the world has begun with the birth of the sun
And its death, the very same day
[Bridge]
Still the fiddle brightly sung
Its hornpipe playing
It's a Londonderry tune, long gone's the afternoon
We'll sing "Ever and more and ever will be"
[Verse 2]
The old men he'd seen, all cracked teeth with glee
Brought gold for the boy who could carry all time
For they, in dear guardianship, sailing a broken ship
Wizened, had aged in pursuit of the wine
