[ti:Sawing On the Strings]
[ar:Alison Krauss]
[00:20.41] Way back in the mountains
[00:22.29] Way back in the hills
[00:24.23] There used to live a mountianeer
[00:26.25] They called him fiddlin'Will
[00:28.36] He could play most anything
[00:30.34] And some say he could sing
[00:32.53] But the one thing that he liked to do best
[00:34.84] Was sawing on the strings
[00:37.58] So get out the fiddle
[00:38.84] And rosin up the bow
[00:40.12] Look at ol'Will a pattin'his toe
[00:42.18] We'll make music til the rafters ring
[00:43.74] All that pickin'and a sawin on the string
[01:05.78] When the neighbors had a shindig
[01:07.69] And they all had viddles to eat
[01:09.75] We'd always have to wait on Will
[01:11.89] To make the frolic complete
[01:14.01] When he comes down from the mountain
[01:16.01] All the gals began to sway
[01:18.07] Sometimes he'd pick that ol'5string
[01:20.29] Until the break of day
[01:23.19] So tune up the 5string
[01:24.41] Tighten up the hyde
[01:25.55] Tell all the hill folks to get inside
[01:27.57] All them pickin'and a sawing on the string
[01:51.17] So tune up the 5string
[01:52.57] Tighten up the hyde
[01:53.42] Tell all the hill folks to get inside
[01:55.51] All them pickin'and a sawing on the string
