Little Orphan Annie Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie 

Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea 

Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square 

If I'm not there, won't you play a song for me? 

We all called her Little Orphan Annie at the playground 

Merry go, merry go, merry go round 

Till she picked her fiddle up, we always put her down 

When she picked her fiddle up 

They come for miles around to hear her play 

Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie 

Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea 

Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square 

If I'm not there, won't you play a song for me? 

Aw, mad dog, diamond, Jim Richmond from the Tennessee Hot Band 

John Hartford on the banjo, oh diamond, my oldest son Dale 

John Hartford playin' the fiddle 

And the banjo, Diamond Jim
