《Papa’s Old Fiddle》歌词

时长： 02:52

Papa brought his fiddle to the new frontier[00:00:00]

And many a night it brought us cheer[00:00:03]

When he'd play for us[00:00:05]

My papa had an old homemade fiddle[00:00:21]

Whittled out of a piece of pinewood[00:00:24]

Lord knows it didn't look like much[00:00:27]

But it sounded mighty good[00:00:30]

And when the chores were done[00:00:33]

After supper papa'd take that old fiddle down[00:00:35]

He'd sit there in an old cane bottom chair[00:00:40]

And all of us kids would gather round[00:00:43]

Though the times were hard on the frontier[00:00:54]

Papa never made a fuss[00:00:56]

And somehow the world seemed to be a little[00:00:59]

Bit brighter when he'd play for us[00:01:02]

I could always tell just about how he felt[00:01:08]

He'd sit there and close his eyes[00:01:12]

And that old fiddle would almost talk sometime[00:01:16]

I'd swear it's gonna cry[00:01:20]

Then there was the time when mama took[00:01:29]

Sick the joy in our home was gone[00:01:31]

One night she called papa close to her bed[00:01:36]

And I heard her say papa play me a song[00:01:39]

I saw the tears roll down his cheek[00:01:45]

He turned toward the wall[00:01:49]

He took that old fiddle under his chin[00:01:52]

He stood there straight and tall[00:01:55]

Now the years have gone by[00:02:05]

And thoughts of hard times[00:02:06]

Have almost faded away[00:02:08]

But the memory of papa's old fiddle[00:02:11]

Well I think that'll always stay[00:02:15]

Sometimes I can almost hear it[00:02:18]

At the close of a day[00:02:21]

And I remember just how much it meant[00:02:24]

To me when my papa used to play[00:02:27]
