Uncle Jeff Lyrics - 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 

Somewhere up in Michigan, thinkin' 'bout fiddlin' 

And I hope that I can make it back to Colorado soon 

Daddy had a fiddle and laid it on his son 

Sayin' "Son play the fiddle like your fiddlin' folks done" 

Hard to learn to fiddle, when you're fiddlin' on the run 

Fiddlin' is fiddlin', fiddlin' is fun 

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
