Daniel and The Sacred Harp
Chorus:
Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp
Dancing through the clover
Daniel Daniel would you mind
If I look it over
Verse:
I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
Are you one of the chosen few who will dance in the the procession
and Daniel said
The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son
And need not be related I could never be the one
So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man
Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand
Three years he waited patiently
till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
He said there is just one thing I must ask but not a personal grief
But Daniel wouldn't listen he just grabbed the harp
And said take what you may need.
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied and the harp it seemed to glow
But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
And he said oh brother I'm in a bind
But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail
So to his father Daniel did run And he said oh father what have I done
His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp
But you lost ??? ???
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill
And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill
He played out his heart just the time to pass
But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast
