Fiddler's Green - Shot In The Dark lyrics

A rambling rover comes to town
Somewhere in the county Down
He was only passing through
Somehow feeling blue
So many faces he had met
And left without regret
Still waiting for the chimes to ring
And his soul to sing

He found a pub where he could play
Only for one night
When suddenly he saw her eyes
Desire at first sight

Shot in the dark one step away from me

And when he saw her pretty face
It was a castle in the clouds
His aching heart was burning now
And he felt no doubts
He didn't dare to talk to her and
So he fiddled for the crowd
She stood first row in front of
Him his eyes were shining proudly

He played a lovely fiddle tune and
Swept her off her feet
And while he looked into her eyes
His heart began to beat
Collywobbles and the creeps
He went straight to the bar
And when he had a lot of pints
He sang Whiskey in the jar

She drives him round the twist
And now he can't resist
Drunk as a fiddler's bitch
And so he goes to make his stitch
