Lyrics
Verse 1
For him who struck your foreign strings
I know this heart has ceased to care
Then why do you bring such feelings
To my sad spirit, old guitar?
Chorus
Old guitar, your magic tone
Has moved the tear and waked the sigh
Has bid the ancient torrent flow
Although its very source is dry
Verse 2
It is as if the warm sunlight
In some deep glen should linger on
When clouds of storm and endless night
Had wrapped the sun and it was gone
Chorus
Old guitar, your magic tone
Has moved the tear and waked the sigh
Has bid the ancient torrent flow
Although its very source is dry
Bridge
It is as if the glassy brook
Should mirror still its willows fair
Though years ago, the woodman's stroke
Laid low in dust their shining hair
Final Chorus
Even so, guitar, your magic tone
Has moved the tear and waked the sigh
Has bid the ancient torrent flow
Although its very source is dry
Although its very source is dry...
