A stranger had a violin and when he played
Righteous and sweet was the sound
Heard all over town

And all the good people agreed
They wanted to hear more every day
The stranger and the violin had lots of music to play

And then it was during early spring
When robins begin to sing
Suddenly a new dawn and it seemed the day waved a magic wand

When a pretty lady came into town
And all the good people were gathered round
And when she heard the violin play she couldn't help but sway

As little kids were passing by she took one by the hand
And as they danced around she felt so grand
Righteous and sweet was the sound heard all over town

And all the good people agreed
They wanted to here more every day
The stranger and the violin had lots of music to play
