Sawing On The Strings Lyrics - A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection - Alison Krauss

Way back in the mountains 

Way back in the hills 

There used to live a mountaineer 

They called him Fiddlin' Will 

He could play most anything 

And some say he could sing 

But the one thing that he liked to do best 

Was sawing on the strings 

So get out the fiddle 

And rosin up the bow 

Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe 

We'll make music til the rafters ring 

All that pickin' and a sawin on the strings

When the neighbors had a shindig 

And they all had vittles to eat 

We'd always have to wait on Will 

For the frolic to be complete 

When he comes down from the mountain 

All the gals began to sway 

Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5-string 

Until the break of day 

So tune up the 5-string 

Tighten up the hide 

Tell all the young folks to get inside 

We'll make music til the rafters ring 

All them pickin' and a sawing on the string 

So tune up the 5-string 

Tighten up the hide 

Tell all the young folks to get inside 

We'll make music til the rafters ring 

All them pickin' and a sawing on the string
