  • Everyone knows, down the John Neil George Road
    There’s a diamond day, a dozen for nothing and less if owed to ya

    With an old tin can, up the Marble Mountain
    You’ll hear me singing, I’se the b’ys that says I loves ya

    In the middle of the night, should you find me still looked over
    String the fiddle up tight, and softly play me off
    Play for me The Dark Island, ‘til the dew lifts off the clover
    Play the fiddle all night

    In the cold hard rain, the kind that bites ya
    I’ve a knit under my slick, cause it’s the wind that gets ya

    Under rolling hills, under rolling thunder
    You can hear me whistling a tune, if you’re listening I bet ya

    In the middle of the night, should you find me still looked over
    String the fiddle up tight, and softly play me off
    Play for me The Dark Island, ‘til the dew lifts off the clover
    Play the fiddle all night

    Have I told you of my life yet?
    Have I given it all away?

    In the middle of the night, should you find me still looked over
    String the fiddle up tight, and softly play me off
    Play for me The Dark Island, ‘til the dew lifts off the clover
    Play the fiddle all night Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
