Fiddler Jones Lyrics by Tim O’Brien, Darrell Scott

Memories and Moments

0

The earth gives us music, it’s there in your heart
If you’re lucky you feel it in the end from the start
You hear it, it hears you, you trust and obey
Where’er it may lead you, you won't go astray
It brought me a fiddle, so fiddle I do
From the coal-camp to the sawmill,I’ve left many a tune
I’ve played in the jailhouse on a prisoners last night
We both cried like a baby til dawn’s early light
All the pretty girls dancing,I still hear their skirts
They’re spinning and prancing with dandies and flirts
I play through the laughter,I play all alone
‘til it’s me and the horses,pack up and go home
And the people all know me wherever I go
There’s Fiddler Jones, there goes Fiddler Jones
I have forty acres,a mule and a plow
I no more get startedand one comes around
For a picnic or wedding, we strike us a deal
And i’m off in their wagon my plow in the field
I hear choirs and symphonies up in my head
In the wind in the cornstalks, my heartbeat in bed
In the river at midnight, the creak of a door
In red-headed sammy tapping off toor-a-loor
I’ve fiddled for governers,I’ve fiddled for slaves
I’ve fiddled at birthings,I’ve fiddled on graves
I’ve one thousand memoriesI’ll never forget
One broken fiddle, and not a single regret
And the people all know mewherever I go
There’s Fiddler jones,there goes Fiddler jones
And the people all know mewherever I go
There’s Fiddler Jones, there comes Fiddler Jones
