[F] [Bb] Way [Eb] back in the mountains, [Bb] way [F] back in the hills,
[Bb] There used to [Eb] live a [F] labaneer that caught in [Bb] fiddle winders.
And he could [Eb] play most [Bb] anything some say [F] he could sing,
[Bb] But the one thing [Eb] that he liked to do best was [Bb] solve it on the string.
So get out the fiddle and rouse it up the bowl,
Look at old [F] Will, look at Miss [Bb] Toad,
Will make [Eb] music to the [Bb] rafters ring,
Old man [F] picking in the sod on the string.

[F] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
When neighbors have a shinin' [Bb] and they all have [F] fiddles to eat,
[Bb] We don't have [Eb] to wait on Will [Bb] for the promise to be complete.
When he comes down [Eb] from the mountain [Bb] all the gals begin [F] to sway,
[Bb] So time to pick [Eb] that old file string [Bb] until the break of day.
So turn up the file-string tighten up the hive,
Tell all the young [F] folks to get inside,
[Bb] Will make music [Eb] to the rafters [F] ring,
Old man picking [Bb] in the sod on the string.
