Daniel, 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 willin the the procession and Daniel said The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son And 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 waited patiently till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee He said there is thing I must ask but not a personal But wouldn't listen just grabbed harp And said take what you may need. Now Daniel looked quite satisfied 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 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 time to pass But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast Repeat Chorus Jean & Daniel Illari 2713 Appleseed Road Finksburg, MD 21048 (410) 833-0479
