Charlie Daniels

Play Me Some Fiddle

Every time I hear a fiddle and it's cookin' just a little

Well, it makes me want to jump up and run

And if he's sawing with some soul boogie woogie rock 'n' roll

Well, I know I'm gonna have some fun

And when the rosin' starts to fly and I'm lookin' in the eye

Like I'm just about to blow a fuse

Mama, call the doctor 'cause your boy has got

The rocking boogie woogie fiddle country blues

I met a man from Tennessee, this is what he said to me

He said, "Music is a rhapsody"

He picked up his violin, stuck it underneath his chin

And started playing me a symphony

I said, "That ain't the way it's done, let me see that fiddle son

And I sawed him off a chorus or two"

He said, "You'd better call the doctor 'cause I think I've got

The rocking boogie woogie fiddle country blues"

Now if you want to play me some fiddle

I'll tell you right from the start

You'd better play me something lowdown hoedown honking

I don't want to hear no funeral march

It's got to pick me up and roll me over

It's got to make me want to jump up and sing

If it ain't buzzing like a beehive, kick it into overdrive

Or it don't mean a doggone thing

So let me rosin' up my bow and I think that I can show you

The way I like to play this thing

Let's put some boogie rhythm in it, kick it on up to the limit

I'm gonna put some fire on these strings

And if you feel your feet start moving to the beat

And you feel like you've got ants in your shoes

Well you'd better call the doctor 'cause you've probably got

The rocking boogie woogie fiddle country blues
