Show Of Hands - The blind fiddler lyrics

I lost my eyes in a Blacksmith's shop in the year of '46 I was working on a revolver and it was out of fix I am so sad and lonely and I'm condemned to roam 'cause I am the blind fiddler and I'm a great long way from home Well I've been down to Knoxville and I've talked to Doctor Lane He operated on one of my eyes but nothing could be gained I am so sad and lonely and I'm condemned to roam 'cause I am the blind fiddler and I'm a great long way from home Well I've got a wife and three little kids and they depend on me They're sharing all my sorrows where ever they may be And I hope that they'll be careful as through this life they roam As I am the blind fiddler and I cannot help them I lost my eyes in a Blacksmith's shop in the year of '46 Working on a revolver that was out of fix I am so sad and lonely and I'm condemned to roam 'cause I am the blind fiddler and I'm a great long way from home
