Dolly Parton
The Master's Hand

(Dolly Parton)

Twas battered and scarred
And the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin
But he held it up with a smile.

"What am I bidden, good folks," he cried
"Who'll start bidding for me?
A dollar, a dollar, now who"ll make it two
Two dollars, and who"ll make it three?"

"Three dollars once, three dollars twice
Going for three". . . but no!
From the room far back a gray-haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow.

Then wiping the dust from the old violin
And tightening up the strings
He played a melody, pure and sweet
As sweet as an angel sings.

The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low
Said, "What am I bidden for the old violin?"
And he held it up with the bow.

"A thousand dollars and who'll make it two?
Two thousand and who'll make it three?
Three thousand once, three thousand twice
And going and gone," said he.

The people cheered, but some of them cried
"We do not quite understand
What changed its worth?" The man replied
"The touch of the masters hand."

And many a man with life out of tune
And battered and torn with sin
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd
Much like the old violin.

A mess of pottage, a glass of wine
A game and he travels on
He's going once and going twice
He's going and almost gone!

But the Master comes and the foolish crowd
Never can quite understand
The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought
By the touch of the Master's hand...


Mirror lyrics:

By the touch of the Master's hand...
The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought
Never can quite understand
But the Master comes and the foolish crowd

He's going and almost gone!
He's going once and going twice
A game and he travels on
A mess of pottage, a glass of wine

Much like the old violin.
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd
And battered and torn with sin
And many a man with life out of tune

"The touch of the masters hand."
What changed its worth?" The man replied
"We do not quite understand
The people cheered, but some of them cried

And going and gone," said he.
Three thousand once, three thousand twice
Two thousand and who'll make it three?
"A thousand dollars and who'll make it two?

And he held it up with the bow.
Said, "What am I bidden for the old violin?"
With a voice that was quiet and low
The music ceased and the auctioneer

As sweet as an angel sings.
He played a melody, pure and sweet
And tightening up the strings
Then wiping the dust from the old violin

Came forward and picked up the bow.
From the room far back a gray-haired man
Going for three". . . but no!
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice

Two dollars, and who"ll make it three?"
A dollar, a dollar, now who"ll make it two
"Who'll start bidding for me?
"What am I bidden, good folks," he cried

But he held it up with a smile.
To waste much time on the old violin
And the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his while
Twas battered and scarred

(Dolly Parton)
