Album of Five Songs

Song Cycle by Joseph Taffs


1. Fair goes the dancing

Language: English

Authorship


Fair goes the dancing when the sitar's tuned;
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high,
And we will dance away the hearts of men.

The string overstretched breaks, and the music flies
The string o'erslack is dumb, and music dies;
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high.
