Talk To Me Fiddle Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Well if this old fiddle could talk 

If this old fiddle could sing 

Man if this old fiddle could only talk 

It could tell you some wondrous things 

Talk to me fiddle 

Tell me about when you came across the sea 

In the hands of a jewish immigrant who was longing to be free 

And you were part of his life for forty years 

Through times both lean and fat 

And he raised his family and lived out his days 

In a New York tenement flat 

Talk to me fiddle 

Tell me about how that cajun fiddlin' man 

Found you in a pawn shop and took you back down 

To the Louisiana bayou land 

You knew his wife and you knew his kids 

And you watched his family grow 

And you played your heart out caju'n style 

At the Louisiana Fais Do Do 

Well talk to me fiddle 

Then a big shot yankee gambler found you down in New Orleans 

And took you up the river on the Mississippi Queen 

Then there came the day that you were all 

That he had left to lose 

And a black man won you in a poker game 

And taught you how to play the blues 

Talk to me fiddle 

Then a hobo from Biloxi found you living in the rain 

And he got himself a free ride on a west-bound cattle train 

And you got off in Texas 

Where they play that western swing 

Where the people do the two-step 

And old Bob Wills was the king 

Talk to me fiddle 

You've been bouncing around America from sea to shining sea 

Now your traveling days are over fiddle 'cause you belong to me
