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"
