Country music was the backbone of his life
Any song you choose it,
Heâ??d play anything you liked.
Most every evening,
You could find me by his side.
Where Iâ??d lend the third part harmony to mom and dadâ??s duets.
Unill lullabies hung from my eyes and I wandered off to bed.
And I can see my mother in this country home
I got a sister and two brothers all my own
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
When I heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play,
Some good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
Some good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
Country neighbors, they say that heâ??s the best around
To play their favorites
At every Friday night hoe-down, and late in the evening
With the neighbors homeward bound
His closings were as customary as turning out the lights
A quarter for my pocket, a love song for his wife.
And I can see my mother in this country home
I got a sister and two brothers all my own
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
When I heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play,
Some good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
Some of those good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
Ah, but where oh where has the time gone?
Itâ??s been years since my ears have been played upon.
I heard the fiddler lost his tune in some bar room
And his familyâ??s to another town, it must be lonesome
Wishing all the lost and somehow find you now
And I can see my mother, she lives all alone
I got a sister and two brothers but theyâ??re all grown
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
When I heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play some good old country songs.
(Heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play) some good old country songs.
(Heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play) some good old country songs.
(Heard my fatherâ??s fiddle play) some of those good old country songs.
When I heard him, playing, playing, playing on,
Some good old country songs
When I heard his fiddle play, hey-heeey,
That fiddle when heâ??d play, some good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
Awe, some country songs,
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle played)
How I just love those good old country songs.
(When my fatherâ??s fiddle play-aaaed)
