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"
