Daddy's old fiddle was
a brand new 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
Back when I was just a young 'un
I used to travel around with Dad
He made a little money and
we had a lot of fun
And it was the best time
I ever had
Daddy played every social function
Evil could have played with Bill Monroe
He offered him a job,
but daddy wouldn't take it
Said he'd miss me too much to go home
My daddy loved me
Zooey, zooey, my daddy's good
Every square dance and
every bar supper
Even on the big election day
People would come from miles around
They didn't come to vote,
but to hear him play
Cotton -eyed Joe and Sally Gooden
Soldiers Joy and Hasty Puddin'
A little boy blewin' out a horny hat
He didn't have nothin' on my dad
Say, chicken in the bread pan,
pickin' out dough
Daddy does a dog bite,
no child knows
Hey diddle diddle, my daddy's old fiddle
It roars and eggs throughout my soul
Oh, ain't my daddy good?
Show them, daddy.
And when they lay
When they laid my daddy down,
my daddy down
And I stood, and I stood above his
And I played Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
Daddy's old fiddle was a family treasure
Hand it down from hand to hand
I used to go with him when I was just a little
I was my daddy's biggest fan
All day singin' dinner on the ground
Wedding soon was the partys in town
The courthouse yard,
they spittin' eight with em
Daddy entertained him with
his old fiddle
Got nachos, shabby goods
Soldier's joy, hey shifty putty
Little boy grewin' that horn he
had
He didn't have nothin' on my dad
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Daddy's old fiddle
Rolls and yanks throughout my soul
