The scene is a bar-room in second-rate dive
The address is 3rd Street and Vine
And I make the music to bring out the flavor
Of cigarettes, laughter and wine
My sweetheart, she's dancing with some total stranger
I'm singing this song from my heart
While I make the music for honky-tonk people
I'm watching my world fall apart
Hi Diddle, Diddle, listen my fiddle
Is playing the music she loves so to hear
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow
While I play the fiddle
I'm watching my world disappear
ย
My love for that woman
Is almost as strong as her love for the music I play
But she could not live in the gardens and flowers
So here where she's happy to stay
The scene is a bar-room in second-rate dive
On stage is a honky-tonk sound
I'm the one in the middle playing honky-tonk fiddle
I'm watching my world tumble down
Hi Diddle, Diddle, listen my fiddle
Is playing the music she loves so to hear
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow
While I play the fiddle
I'm watching my world disappear
Hi Diddle, Diddle, listen my fiddle
Is playing the music she loves so to hear
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow
While I play the fiddle
I'm watching my world disappear
