Uncle Jeff - Arlo Guthrie

Uncle Jeff played the fiddle in his Colorado home

And I backed him on the banjo so he didn’t play alone

We’ve got five generations of a fiddle playin' clan

And it’s nice to hear a fiddle by a fiddle playin' man

Here’s another song for Uncle Jeff Guthrie

Written on the road by the light of the moon

Thinkin' 'bout fiddlin' somewhere up in Michigan

I hope that I can make it back to Colorado soon

Well my daddy had a fiddle and he laid it on his son

Sayin' «Son play the fiddle like your fiddlin' folks done»

Well it’s hard to Iearn to fiddle

When you’re fiddlin' on the run

But fiddlin' is fiddlin', and fiddlin' is fun
