Redneck Fiddlin' Man Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Well, down in Mississippi, there's a little bitty town 

And there ain't much happens 'till the sun goes down 

Then all the people come from miles around 

To hear a little four-piece band 

There's a dog house bass and a kid on the drums 

And a guitar picker just as hot as they come 

Up steps a man with a bow on his thumb and a fiddle in his hand 

He tunes up the fiddle and he rosins up the bow 

And he plays an old tune called "Cotton Eyed Joe" 

And they dance all night on a hard wood floor to the redneck fiddlin' man 

CHORUS: 

Good times go by easy 

Good times fly away 

One night some boys from town came by 

With a bellyfull of liquor and the devil in their eye 

And they said, "Old man, you're way out'a style 

You don't play Rock N' Roll" 

Well, he picked up his fiddle with style and ease 

And he played a little rock just as pretty as you please 

Then he bent down, turned around, knocked them to their knees 

When he played a little mountain soul 

Then, he tightened up his bow and he made another pass 

And he played "Sally Good'N" kinda' rowdy and fast 

Then he played a little blues and he played a little jazz 

Just to show them he could do it all 

CHORUS
