It's Time To Pay The Fiddler Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

(Don Wayne - Walter Haynes) 

Well, it's time to pay the fiddler 

And it's sad to know we've danced it all away 

But the one night's disappearing leaving nothin' 

But the cold hard light of day. 

And it's time to start erasin' all the rainbows 

We've been chasing in our minds 

We know there's no way of making other ties 

On us unravel and unwind. 

Yes, it's time to pay the fiddler 

And today's the day the thirsty someones do 

For the rest of all my days I wonder why 

The maker mismatched me and you.

But there's so much to consider 

Like my man and little baby 

Will need and want my love just like you do 

Now it's time to pay the fiddler 

But before we pay the fiddler 

Let's say to him please play one last final tune.

Well, it's time to pay the fiddler now 

There's naked sorrow drippin' from my eyes 

On'ry, stranded and unshamed we've loved each other 

Now we've got to leave it lie. 

But I can feel my hands a trembling 

And I search to find a handle on the door 

So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow 

Across our heart strings just once more.

Yes, it's time to pay the fiddler 

And today's the day the thirsty someones do 

For the rest of all my days I wonder why 

The maker mismatched me and you. 

But there's so much to consider 

Like my man and little baby 

Will need and want my love just like you do 

Now it's time to pay the fiddler 

But before we pay the fiddler 

Let's say to him please play one last final tune...
