| [02:15.14] |
and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side |
| [02:17.71] |
he said...'live a good life and play my fiddle with pride |
| [02:20.40] |
and thank god you're a country boy" |

my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle |
| [02:25.39] |
he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle |
| [02:27.81] |
taught me how to love and how to give just a little |
| [02:33.25] |
