This is a true story

Song Description

A little boy grows into a man and remembers the fun he had listening to his Grandfather play the fiddle

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
