Brandane just beat me to the kick off today which is probably just as well because otherwise you'd have had Friday Night is Music Night - Allegory.
Anyway, in my younger days, we used to do the rounds of the local folk clubs and occasionally do a spot. Being both young and naïve I sang this one many times before it dawned on me what his 'fine fiddle' really was and what the song was about. There was no way of us posting our efforts to YouTube in the late 60s so you'll have to make do with Liam:



...and they both sat down together, love
To hear the nightingale sing

Now out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle
He played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear
He played her such merry tunes that the valley did ring
And softly cried the fair maid as the nightingale sings
