When you listen to the tunes I've played
What kind of impression have I made
If you think I'm a bit off key,
I've missed a note or two,
...
I thought I'd send you a bouquet of roses
Or maybe some Easter posies
But since Easter has come and gone
And a new day has dawned
...
I'll tune up my fiddle and
resin up my bow so
get your partners and do-si-do
Join hands and circle left
...
