Fiddle in the Sky

Sometimes in the middle of the lonely night

No one there to be his friend

He'd grab the fiddle, and he'd hold it tight

The angels there would gather 'round him

And he would all through the night

And he would play all through the night

And he would play 'til everything seemed alright

And I cried every time that I watched him play, Lord

He really had something to say

And I watched him steal away

He built himself a cabin at the foot of a hill

He never knew the city street

He never had much money, never needed a will, Lord

All he had was one ol' fiddle

And he passed it down to me

And he passed it down to me

And so I'll play through all the world seem alright

I'm gonna play 'til the angels dance in the sky, Lord

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

I'll play this fiddle in the sky
