I inadvertently found myself stomping my feet midway through the song!

Ha it's in the blood.  You know the story, right?  There was a wedding, a guy goes into the cellar to get more beer.  There is a fiddler down there, playing sitting on the cask, beating time with his foot, and playing a tune he'd never heard before.  He looks closer to see, and the man is holding the violin backwards, with the neck under his chin, and the foot he kicks with is a horse's hoof.  That's the song.

Thanks!
I thought some murder or trollish antics but never looked it up. Here is an interesting translation

Not bad!  I always wondered if Robert Service knew the poem when writing Dan McGrew about the old piano-player, but I suppose that's impossible.

The music almost died away ... then it burst like a pent-up flood;
And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill ... then the music stopped with a crash,

Most underrated Donovan song ever, maybe because it got zero airplay.

I've somehow missed that gem.  Thanks for that one!  Do you think it might work wonders for Screamin' Jay Hawkins?
