This is called the Big Butch Bass Bull Fiddle in the key of G
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
ย
I've been playing root-five, for most of the night
Most of the times, well, I don't really mind
But once in a while I get the chance to shine
And look out, baby, when the stage is mine
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, bitch, butch, bull fiddle, baby, here I am
ย
I got the black horsehair on my big bass bow
I'm meaner than the sorrel that was under it before
Sawin' back and forth to meet the big bass drum
And pretty soon you can hear the rhythm section hum
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, butch, bass, bull fiddle, baby, here I am
ย
I gotta buy an extra seat when I ride the airplane
Or the womens and the childrens and the pilots complain
'Cause it sure don't fit in the overhead bin
And basically leavin' her behind is a sin
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, butch, bass, bull fiddle, baby, here I am (here it is)
Here I am
ย
Leaving it behind might save a little space
I ain't no slouch on the electrical bass
But something kinda happens when the F-holes sing
With the snapping and the popping of the flat wound strings
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, butch, bass, bull fiddle, baby, here I am
ย
I been playing root-five for most of the night
And most of the times, well, I don't really mind
But once in a while I get the chance to shine
And look out, baby, when the stage is mine
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, butch, bass, bull fiddle, baby, here I am
ย
The good lord knows I do the best I can
On the big, butch, bass, bull fiddle, baby, here I am
Hey
ย
Okay
Speaking of rockabilly, here's a song from my brand-new record, it's called "The Gothest Girl I Can" and it goes like this
