Lyrics

[00:19.30] Way back in the mountains
[00:22.08] Way back in the hills
[00:23.60] There used to live a mountianeer
[00:26.06] They called him fiddlin' Will
[00:27.89]
[00:27.90] He could play most anything
[00:29.99] And some say he could sing
[00:31.89] But the one thing that he liked to do best
[00:34.19] Was sawing on the strings
[00:36.34]
[00:37.08] So get out the fiddle
[00:38.42] And rosin up the bow
[00:39.49] Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe
[00:41.49] we'll make music til the rafters ring
[00:43.58] All that pickin' and a sawin on the string
[00:45.89]
[01:05.40] When the neighbors had a shindig
[01:07.25] And they all had viddles to eat
[01:09.34] We'd always have to wait on Will
[01:11.14] To make the frolic complete
[01:13.40]
[01:13.41] When he comes down from the mountain
[01:15.49] All the gals began to sway
[01:17.63] Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string
[01:19.88] Until the break of day
[01:21.66]
[01:22.41] So tune up the 5 string
[01:24.12] Tighten up the hyde
[01:25.19] Tell all the hill folks to get inside
[01:27.17] We'll make music till the rafters ring
[01:29.25] All them pickin' and a sawing on the string
[01:31.59]
[01:50.57] So tune up the 5 string
[01:52.10] Tighten up the hyde
[01:53.13] Tell all the hill folks to get inside
[01:55.20] We'll make music till the rafters ring
[01:57.23] All them pickin' and a sawing on the string
[02:00.45]
[00:48.90]
[00:55.57]
[02:04.79]
[02:15.30]
[02:31.10]
