Lyrics
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
Wherever it may lead you, you won't go astray
It brought me a fiddle, so fiddle I knew
From the church to the sawmill I'd left many a tune
I played in the jailhouse on a prisoner's last night
We both cried like a baby till 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 started than one comes around
For a picnic or wedding, we strike us a deal
And I'm off in their wagon, a-plowin' the field
I hear choirs and symphonies up in my head
In the wind in the corn stalk, my heartbeat in bed
In the rivers and robins, the creak of the door
In red-headed Sammy stepping off to a war
I've fiddled for governors, I've fiddled for slaves
I've fiddled at birthings, I've fiddled on graves
I've one thousand memories I'll never forget
And one broken fiddle, not a single regret
And the people all know me wherever I go
There's Fiddler Jones, there goes Fiddler Jones
And the people all know me wherever I go
There's Fiddler Jones, there goes Fiddler Jones
