Play A Tune

Written by Kerenza Peacock

When I was a little girl I loved my fiddle and bow

Had no idea what music could get me through

When I was hurt with a broken heart and didn't know

where to go

I ran to my Mamma and said "what should I do?"

She said:"Play a tune my darling

Play a tune for me,

Play a tune my darling

And the world sings a tune with you"

Busking on the street, college would cost me dear

Cold in my fingers, future in my head

As I tuned up my fiddle, didn't know what they wanted

to hear

I asked my Momma, do you know what she said?

"The world has enough discord, bring some harmony

People needs their hearts to sing so give them melody

Play a tune my darling

Play a tune for me,

Play a tune my darling

And the world sings a tune with you"

Standing by your bedside, watching your last days

Held your hand for the last time, fighting back the tears

You could no longer speak to me, our wise and loving Fay

But as I held up my violin, I knew what you wanted to hear

"It will be alright

It will be alright, you'll see

Just play a tune my daring

Play a tune for me"
