Prime the Fiddler Lyrics by Fiddlers’ Sons

Changing Times Fiddlers’ Son

0

[Verse 1]
When I was young, the Cailin and I would go
Out to the dances rain or snow
Those young girls called me to swing them 'round the floor
And show them the secrets they didn't know
[Chorus]
You have to prime the fiddler with rosin on his bow
Then pour a drink of moonshine down his throat
And we'll dance all night until the sun comes up
You have to prime the fiddler, don't you know
[Verse 2]
Why I asked a girl to marry me
And then the church did wed
The preacher and the vows and then he said
I hope you have a happy life and children come your way
But know now when to enjoy this festive day
[Chorus]
You have to prime the fiddler with rosin on his bow
Then pour a drink of moonshine down his throat
And we'll dance all night until the sun comes up
You have to prime the fiddler, don't you know
[Verse 3]
Now I'm an old man my life is almost done
Looking back, I see how happy I have been
I'll give you this advice as it was passed to me
Go do your life and music as you please
[Chorus]
You have to prime the fiddler with rosin on his bow
Then pour a drink of moonshine down his throat
And we'll dance all night until the sun comes up
You have to prime the fiddler, don't you know
You have to prime the fiddler with rosin on his bow
Then pour a drink of moonshine down his throat
And we'll dance all night until the sun comes up
You have to prime the fiddler, don't you know
