Capo 2


         G 
When the fiddlin' man come to our town
C                        G
Sister dressed up in her prettiest gown
G
Momma told sister don't be hanging around
     C       D        G
That no good fiddlin' man

         G
'Cause a fiddlin' man he ain't on the level
      C                    G   
He'll fiddle like an angel act like a devil
G
Sister wouldn't listen she was a rebel
    C          D        G
She liked that fiddlin' man


    Em
She went to the dance stayed all night long
D
Momma waited up 'til the break of dawn
Em                                  C
Momma found a letter and said she's gone
F                      G
Off with that fiddlin' man


Chorus 1:
    G                     Am
And Sister ran off with a fiddlin' man
D                  G
Momma threw a fit, bangin' pots and pans
           G                 C 
Said she'd better never ever get her hands
        D                G 
On that no good fiddlin' man


     G
So I got me a fiddle and I got me a bow
      C                            G
And I practiced in the woods where Momma wouldn't know
      G
And I knew she'd never ever let me go
C           D        G
Off to be a fiddlin' man

        G
And the leaves and the wind would dance and twirl
     C                            G 
As I played for the rabbits and I played for the squirrels
G
I couldn't wait 'til I played for the girls
C           D        G
Had to be a fiddlin' man

     Em
Then late one night when the moon was low
  D
I packed my fiddle and I packed my bow
Em                                 C
Momma found a letter and said "Oh, no"
     F                     G
He's gone to be a fiddlin' man


Chorus 2:
And I ran off to be a fiddlin' man
Momma threw a fit, bangin' pots and pans
Said she'd better never ever get her hands
On that no good fiddlin' man


Then one night when I started to play
I saw a pretty gal, she was looking my way
She was dancing with her brother
And I heard her day I like that fiddlin' man

Now her little brother was about knee high
Looked at the fiddle with a gleam in his eye
Said to me sir, I'd sure like to try
To learn to be a fiddling man


I said son, there's a whole lot a boys gotta know
Like Chicken In The Briar patch, Squawking At The Crow
He said I don't care I just got to go
Off to be a fiddlin' man

So I had an old fiddle that I never did play
Sister winked when I gave it away
Ain't no doubt what momma's gonna say
That no good fiddlin' man

Chorus 3:
And brother ran off with a fiddlin' man
Momma threw a fit, bangin' pots and pans
Said she'd better never ever get her hands
On that no good fiddlin' man

Chorus 4:
And his sister ran off with a fiddlin' man
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans
Said she'd better never ever get her hands
On that no good fiddlin' man
