Artist: Merle Haggard Album: It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad) (1972) Title: Dad's Old Fiddle
Lyrics Dad's Old FiddleThere's two nails in the wall above the door in the hall
Where dad's old fiddle hung for twenty years
I recall as just a boy how my heart would beat with joy
When daddy would play the song I loved to hear and daddy would play
[ fiddle ]
Daddy never left us any will telling us what he'd give
But everybody knew his fiddle was mine
But the fiddle was all he left so I had to teach myself
And I bet I played his song a million times and I would play
[ fiddle ]
Well if dad could see me now oh I know that he'd be proud
To hear his old fiddle played once again
But maybe it won't be long till I join him in his song
And together we'll play this song once again and then we'll play
[ fiddle ] |
