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.

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...
