Karaoke Track: Touch Of The Master's Hand (Without Low Background Vocals) by Booth Brothers (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U'U

WELL IT WAS BATTERED
AND SCARRED
AND THE AUCTIONEER FELT
IT WAS HARDLY WORTH
HIS WHILE

T0 WASTE MUCH TIME
ON THE OLD VIOLIN
BUT HE HELD IT UP

WITH A SMILE

HE SAID,
IT SURE AIN'T MUCH
BUT IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT LEFT
I GUESS WE OUGHT

TO SELL IT T00

0H NOW WHO'LL START
THE BID
ON THIS OLD VIOLIN?
JUST ONE MORE
THEN WE'LL BE THROUGH.

AND THEN HE CRIED,
ONE, GIVE ME ONE DOLLAR,
WHO'LL MAKE IT TWO?
ONLY TWO DOLLARS?
WHO'LL MAKE IT THREE?

THREE DOLLARS TWICE
NOW THAT'S A GOOD PRICE
WHO'S GONNA
BID FOR ME?

RAISE UP YOUR HAND NOW
DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER
THE AUCTION'S ABOUT TO END
WHO'S GOT FOUR?
JUST ONE DOLLAR MORE
TO BID ON THIS OLD VIOLIN?

WELL, THE AIR WAS HOT
AND THE PEOPLE
STOOD AROUND

AS THE SUN WAS
SETTING LOW

FROM THE BACK OF THE CROWD
A GRAY-HAIRED MAN
CAME FORWARD

AND PICKED UP THE BOW

HE WIPED THE DUST
FROM THE OLD VIOLIN
AND HE TIGHTENED UP
THE STRINGS

AND THEN HE
PLAYED OUT A MELODY
PURE AND SWEET
SWEETERTHAN
THE ANGELS SING

AND THEN
THE MUSIC STOPPED
AND THE AUCTIONEER
WITH A VOICE THAT WAS
QUIET AND LOW

HE SAID,
NOW WHAT AM I BID
FOR THIS OLD VIOLIN?

AND HE HELD IT UP
WITH THE BOW...

AND THEN HE CRIED OUT
ONE, GIVE ME ONE THOUSAND
WHO'LL MAKE IT TWO?
ONLY TWO THOUSAND?
WHO'LL MAKE IT THREE?

THREE THOUSAND TWICE
YOU KNOW
THAT'S A GOOD PRICE
C'MON WHO'S GONNA
BID FOR ME?

AND THE PEOPLE CRIED OUT
WHAT MADE
THE CHANGE?
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND

THEN THE AUCTIONEER
STOPPED
AND SAID WITH A SMILE
IT WAS THE TOUCH
OF THE MASTER'S HAND

YOU KNOW
THERE'S MANY A MAN
WITH HIS LIFE OUT OF TUNE
BATTERED AND SCARRED
WITH SIN

AND HE'S AUCTIONED
CHEAP
TO A THANKLESS WORLD

MUCH LIKE
THAT OLD VIOLIN

BUT THEN
THE MASTER COMES
AND THE OLD FOOLISH
CROWD
THEY NEVER UNDERSTAND

THE WORTH OF A SOUL
AND THE CHANGE
THAT'S WROUGHT

JUST BY ONE TOUCH
OF THE MASTER'S HAND

0H THEN HE CRIED OUT
ONE, GIVE ME ONE THOUSAND
WHO'LL MAKE IT TWO?
ONLY TWO THOUSAND?
WHO'LL MAKE IT THREE?

THREE THOUSAND TWICE
YOU KNOW
THAT'S A GOOD PRICE
C'MON, WHO'S GONNA
BID FOR ME?

AND THE PEOPLE CRIED OUT
WHAT MADE
THE CHANGE?
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND

THEN THE AUCTIONEER
STOPPED
AND SAID WITH A SMILE...
IT WAS THE TOUCH...
00H... IT WAS THE TOUCH
OF THE MASTER'S HAND
