I lost my eyes in a blacksmith
While working on a revolver and
Well, I am so sad and lonely
And I am condemned to roam
Well, I am a blind fiddler I'm
A great long ways from home
I've been down to Knoxville
He operated on one of my eyes
But nothing could he gain hmm, oh
I'm so sad and lonely and
Well, I am a blind fiddler I'm
A great long ways from home
I've got a wife and three little
They're sharin' all my troubles
Wherever they may be mhm, oh
I hope that they'll be careful as
Through this life they roam
'Cause I am a blind fiddler and
And I lost my eyes in a blacksmith Shop
While working on a revolver and
Well, I am so sad and lonely
And I am condemned to roam
Well, I am a blind fiddler I'm
A great long ways from home
Well, I am a blind fiddler
