John Denver
Miscellaneous
The Ballad of St. Anneâs Reel
This song was first released on the Autograph album. It is the only album it has been released on.
He was stranded in some tiny town
On fair Prince Edward Isle
Awaitinâ for a ship to come and find him
A one-horse place, a friendly face
Some coffee and a tiny trace
Of fiddlinâ in the distance far behind him
A dime across the counter then
A shy hello, a brand new friend
A walk along the street in the wintry weather
A yellow light, an open door
And a welcome friend, thereâs room for more
And then theyâre standing there inside together
He said Iâve heard that tune before somewhere
But I canât remember when
Was it on some other friendly shore
Or did I hear it on the wind
Was it written on the sky above
I think I heard it from someone I loved
But I never heard it sound so sweet since then
Now his feet begin to tap
A little boy says Iâll take your hat
Heâs caught up in the magic of her smile
And leap the heart inside him went
And off across the floor he sent
His clumsy body graceful as a child
He said thereâs magic in the fiddlerâs arm
Thereâs magic in this town
Thereâs magic in the dancersâ feet
And the way they put them down
People smilinâ everywhere
Boots and ribbons, locks of hair
And laughter and old blue suits and easter gowns
Now the sailorsâ gone, the room is bare
The old piano settinâ there
Someoneâs hatâs left hanging on the rack
And empty chairs, the wooden floor
That feels the touch of shoes no more
Awaitinâ for the dancers to come back
And the fiddleâs in the closet
Of some daughter of the town
The strings are broke and the bow is gone
And the coverâs buttoned down
But sometimes on December nights
When the air is cold and the wind is right
Thereâs a melody that passes through this town
