《Papa’s Old Fiddle》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:08] Have almost faded away

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

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

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

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

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

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