Daddy's Old Fiddle - Charlie Daniels, Dolly Parton

Daddy’s old fiddle is a family treasure

Handed down from hand to hand

I used to go with him when I was just little

I was my daddy’s biggest fan

Hey diddle diddle my Daddy’s old fiddle

Boy he could play to beat the band

He played better than just a little

Known and loved throughout the land

Oh back when I was just a young’n

I used to travel around with dad

He made a little money and we had a lot of fun’n

And it was the best times that I ever had

Daddy played at every social function

He even coulda played the Bill Monroe

He offered him a job but Daddy wouldn’t take it

Said he miss me too much to go

My daddy loved me

Play one Daddy!

That’s good

Now every square dance and every pie supper

Even on the big election day

People would come from miles around

They didn’t come to vote but to hear him play

I’m votin' for you Daddy

Cotton Eyed Joe and Sally Goodin

Soldiers Joy and Hasty Puddin'

Little Boy Blue and the horn he had

Didn’t have nothin' on my dad

Said chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough

Daddy does your dog bite, no child no

Hey diddle, diddle my daddy’s old fiddle

It rosin-ates throughout my soul

Show em' Daddy

Ain’t my Daddy good

Daddy’s old fiddle is a family treasure

Handed down from hand to hand

I used to go with him when I was just little

Cause I was my daddy’s biggest fan

Hey diddle diddle my daddy’s old fiddle

Boy he could play to beat the band

And he played better than just a little

Known and loved throughout the land

And when they laid my daddy down

And I stood beside his grave

Held his fiddle in my hand

And I played «Amazing Grace How Sweet The Sound»

Daddy’s old fiddle is a family treasure

Handed down from hand to hand

I used to go with him when I was just little

Cause I was my daddy’s biggest fan

All day singing, dinner on the gound

Weddings, funerals, and parties in town

In the Courthouse yard they spit and they’d whittle

While Daddy entertained him with his old fiddle

Daddy’s old fiddle is a family treasure

Handed down from hand to hand

I used to go with him when I was just little

Cause I was my daddy’s biggest fan

Daddy’s old fiddle

My Daddy’s old fiddle

I miss you Daddy
