The Old Accordion Man

Let me tell you a story of someone I know Someone that I met, many long years ago He's played music for many all over this land And he's special to me, the old accordion man He's played reels for the dancing, for young and for old He's had stories to tell, as his memories unfold And he's traveled the road, and I now understand Why he's special to me, the old accordion man He'll play songs that will take you away back in time Like Maggie, Dark Island, and Mother of Mine But of all the fine medleys, and songs he can play Dark Lochnagar stays in my heart today Many years have gone by, but I still hear the sound As he played on the stage, with the band all around And his music has grown, as he's traveled the land He's respected by all, the old accordion man He'll play songs that will take you away back in time Like Maggie, Dark Island, and Mother of Mine But of all the fine medleys, and songs he can play Dark Lochnagar stays in my heart today
