A Little Fiddlin' (2:39)

A LITTLE FIDDLIN’
Garre LaGrone

VERSE ONE
MY DADDY’S DADDY
WAS AN OLD-TIME FIDDLE MAN
AND HE RAISED HIGH COTTON
IN THE DONLEY COUNTY SAND
HE WORKED HARD EVERY DAY
BUT ALWAYS TOOK A LITTLE TIME TO PLAY
HE’D SAY, “EVERY NOW AND THEN
YOU GOTTA DO A LITTLE FIDDLIN"

VESRE TWO
WELL HE TAUGHT ME
"OLD JOE CLARK" WHEN I WAS TEN
THEN HE SHOWED ME
HOW TO CHORD ON "JENNY LYNN"
YEAH, HIS MUSIC'S IN MY BLOOD
AND IT'S WAY OF LIFE I LOVE
HE'D SAY, "EVERY NOW AND THEN
YOU GOTTA DO A LITTLE FIDDLIN"

CHORUS
HE’D STOMP THAT FOOT
AND SHUFFLE THAT BOW
AND HOLLER OUT
“HO NOW! LET’ER GO”
DANCIN’ A JIG WITH HIS HAT
COCKED TO THE SIDE
HE’D PLAY “SALLY GOODEN”
AND WE COULDN’T GET ENOUGH
JUST LIKE HE WAS POURIN’
OUT OF A JUG EVERYTIME
HE’D SAY, EVERY NOW AND THEN
YOU GOTTA DO A LITTLE FIDDLIN"

VERSE THREE
I COULDN’T WAIT TO LEARN
THOSE LICKS WHEN I WAS A KID
‘CAUSE, NOBODY PLAYED
“RAGTIME ANNIE” LIKE HE DID
NOW EVERY TIME I PLAY
YOU KNOW I CAN HEAR HIM SAY
"BOY, EVERY NOW AND THEN
YOU GOTTA DO A LITTLE FIDDLIN’

REPEAT CHORUS, END
