Dad's Old Fiddle

(Glenn Martin)



There'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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental to fade ---
