A Bm

My old man had a rounder soul

E E7 A

He'd hear an ol' freight train and he'd have to go

A Bm

Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone

E E7 A

And that's the reason I guess that he'd been cursed to roam

A Bm

Came to town back before the war

E E7 A

Didn't even know what it was he was lookin' for

A Bm

He carried a tattered bag for his violin

E E7 A

Full of lots of songs of the places he had been

A Bm

He talked real easy, he had a smiling way

E E7 A

He could pass along to you when his fiddle played

A Bm

Makin' people drop their cares and woes

E E7 A

And hum out loud the tunes that his fiddle bowed

A Bm

Til the people there began to join that sound

E E7 A

And ev'ryone in town was laughin,' singin,' dancin' 'round

A Bm

Like the Fiddler's tunes we all there heard that night

E E7 A

Like some dream that says all the world is right
