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

in the the procession

 and Daniel said

 The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son

  <me not="" being="">

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

<one more="">

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

<in sin="">

 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
