Lyrics
Granddaddy?s Fiddle
When I was just a kid, old enough to tie my shoes
Momma would take us up to Granddad?s house on Saturday afternoon
We would meet with our kin-folks, our neighbors, and our friends
A weekly reunion like people did back then
Granddaddy lived in a white farmhouse down in the south
Where people said what they meant, you didn?t have to figure them out
Late that evening Granddaddy made some music
He?d rosin up his bow, pulled out his fiddle, played the songs that he loved so
Chorus:
And he played boil them Cabbage Down and Rubber Dolly,
Faded Love And The Waltz You Saved For Me
Oh, how I loved to watch him play People came from miles away
to hear the sound of Granddaddy?s fiddle
Lead
Most everybody brought a dish country cooking is hard to resist
Some cakes were better than others, but nobody got offended
Everybody had their fill and the music gave us a thrill
A good time was had by all who attended
Chorus:
And he played boil them Cabbage Down and Rubber Dolly,
Faded Love And The Waltz You Saved For Me
Oh, how I loved to watch him play people came from miles away
to hear the sound of Granddaddy?s fiddle
Change up
As he played all night long people danced to every song
Some sang, while others tapped their feet
When they sang Goodnight Irene it was time for us to go
I miss the fiddle and the man that I loved so
Chorus:
He played boil them Cabbage Down and Rubber Dolly,
Faded Love And The Waltz You Saved For Me
Oh, how I loved to watch him play People came from miles away
to hear the sound of Granddaddy?s fiddle
