Fiddlin' man |
When the fiddlin' man came to our town |
Sister dressed up in her prettiest gown |
Momma told sister don’t be hanging around |
That no good fiddlin' nan |
'Cause a fiddlin' man he ain’t on the level |
He’ll fiddle like an angel act like a devil |
Sister wouldn’t listen she was a rebel |
She liked that fiddlin' man |
She went to the dance stayed all night long |
Momma waited up 'til the break of dawn |
Momma found a letter and said she’s gone |
Off with that fiddlin' man |
Sister ran off with a fiddlin' man |
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans |
Said she’d better never ever get her hands |
On that no good fiddlin' man |
So I bought me a fiddle and I got me a bow |
Practiced in the woods where |
Momma wouldn’t know |
Knew she’d never ever let me go |
Off to be a fiddlin' man |
And the leaves and the wind would dance and twirl |
As I played for the rabbits and played for the squirrels |
Couldn’t wait 'til I played for the girls |
Had to be a fiddlin' man |
And late one night when the moon was low |
I packed my fiddle and I packed my bow |
Momma found a note and said «Oh, no» |
He’s gone to be a fiddlin' man |
And I ran off to be a fiddlin' man |
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans |
Said she’d better never ever get her hands |
On that no good fiddlin' man |
Well then one night when I started to play |
I saw a pretty gal looking my way |
She was dancing with her brother |
And I heard her day I like that fiddlin' man |
Now her little brother was about knee high |
Looked at the fiddle with a gleam in his eye |
Said to me sir, I’d sure like to try |
To learn to be a fiddling man |
I said son, there’s a whole lot a boys gotta know |
Like chicken in the brier patch squawking at the crow |
He said I don’t care I just got to go |
Off to be a fiddlin' man |
So I had an old fiddle that I never did play |
Sister winked when I gave it away |
Ain’t no doubt what momma’s gonna say |
That no good fiddlin' man |
And brother ran off with a fiddlin' man |
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans |
Said she’d better never ever get her hands |
On that no good fiddlin' man |
And his sister ran off with a fiddlin' man |
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans |
Said she’d better never ever get her hands |
On that no good fiddlin' man |
