Four strings across the bridge,
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, under the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra.

Filling me up with the shivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Hear the haunting melody.
Leave me enough for my country.
Here in a wood, in a green story,
Hearing the Banshee a-riddle.
Hearing the Banshee a-riddle.

And jigging along with the fiddle.
Jigging along with the fiddle.
Jigging along with the fiddle.

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
