 Way back in the mountains

 Way back in the hills

 There used to live a mountianeer

 They called him Fiddlin' Will

He could play most anything

 And some say he could sing

 But the one thing that he liked to do best

 Was sawing on the strings..

 So get out the fiddle

 And rosin up the bow

 Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe

 We'll make music til the rafters ring

 and ol' man pickin and a sawin on the string.

x1

 When the neighbors had a shindig

 And they all had viddles to eat

 We'd always have to wait on Will

 For the frolic to be complete

 When he comes down from the mountain

 All the gals began to sway

 Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string

 Until the break of day.

 So tune up the 5 string

 Tighten up the hyde

 Tell all the young ones to get inside

 We'll make music till the rafters ring

 And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the string.
