There's two nails in the wall
Above the door in the hall
Where Dad's old fiddle hung for twenty years
I recall as just a boy
How my heart would beat with joy
When Daddy would play the song I loved to hear:

And Daddy would play: - Fiddle ...

Daddy never left us any will
Tellin' us what he'd give
But ev'rybody knew his fiddle was mine
But the fiddle was all he left
So I had to teach myself
And I bet I played his song a million times:

And I would play: - Fiddle ...

Well, if Dad could see me now
Oh, I know that he'd be proud
To hear his old fiddle play once again
But mayble it won't be long
'Til I join him in a song
And together we play this song once again:

And then we'll play: - Fiddle ...
