"He Plays the Violin" - 1776 Complete Instrumental Backing Tracks

A karaoke/instrumental backing track of "He Plays the Violin" from the musical 1776, music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards, book by Peter Stone. Peter H. Hunt directed the original production, which starred William Daniels, Virginia Vestoff, Howard Da Silva, Ken Howard, and Paul Hecht. The music was orchestrated by Eddie Sauter.
This track has a four-measure intro into the song proper, as per the 1974 film version. The next two numbers in the score, a short violin solo that Jefferson plays onstage, and the playoff, sung by Adams & Franklin, are appended to the end of this track.
UP NEXT: "Cool, Considerate Men"

Update: Cast list come out yesterday, and sadly I did not get Martha, but I’m still proud because my teachers said I have a beautiful voice and I’ve improved a lot! Reverend Witherspoon here ✝️

Oh, he never speaks his passions
He never speaks his views
Whereas other men speak volumes
The man I love is mute
In truth, I can't recall
Being wooed with words at all
Even now
He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh he bows
For he knows, yes he knows
That it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
I am undone
I hear his violin
And I get that feeling within
And I sigh, oh I sigh
He draws near, very near
And it's heigh, heigh, heigh, diddle diddle
And... goodbye to the fiddle!
My strings are unstrung
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
I'm always undone
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
Heigh
When Heaven calls to me
Sing me no sad elegy
Say I died
Loving bride
Loving wife
Loving life
For it was heigh, heigh, heigh diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
And ever 'twill be!
Heigh, heigh, heigh, heigh
Through eternity!
He plays the violin!
