Way back in the mou ntains

Way back in the h ills

There used to live a m ountianeer

They called him Fiddlin' W ill

He could play most a nything

And some say he could s ing

But the one thing that he l iked to do best

Was sawing on the st rings..

So g et out the fiddle

And ro sin up the bow

Look at ol' Will a pa ttin' his toe

We'll make music til the ra fters ring

and ol' man pickin and a sawin on the st ring.

x1

When the neighbors had a s hindig

And they all had viddles to e at

We'd always have to w ait on Will

For the frolic to be com plete

When he comes down from the mo untain

All the gals began to s way

Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string

Until the break of d ay.

So t une up the 5 string

Ti ghten up the hyde

Tell all the young ones to g et inside

We'll make music till the ra fters ring

And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the st ring.

So t une up the 5 string

T ighten up the hyde

Tell all the young ones to g et inside

We'll make music till the ra fters ring

And ol man pickin' and a sa wing on the

st ring...
