Sawin' on the Strings



Capo 1


           x1


                  
Way back in the mountains
                
Way back in the hills
                     
There used to live a mountianeer
                         
They called him Fiddlin' Will
                   
He could play most anything
                      
And some say he could sing
                          
But the one thing that he liked to do best
                  
Was sawing on the strings..


          
So get out the fiddle
      
And rosin up the bow
                    
Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe
                          
We'll make music til the rafters ring
                                       
and ol' man pickin and a sawin on the string.

         x1

                         
When the neighbors had a shindig
                            
And they all had viddles to eat
                    
We'd always have to wait on Will
                      
For the frolic to be complete
                               
When he comes down from the mountain
                      
All the gals began to sway
                        
Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string
                  
Until the break of day.


         
So tune up the 5 string
  
Tighten up the hyde
                           
Tell all the young ones to get inside
                            
We'll make music till the rafters ring
                                       
And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the string.

         x1

        
So tune up the 5 string
 
Tighten up the hyde
                           
Tell all the young ones to get inside
                           
We'll make music till the rafters ring
                           
And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the
  
string...



         x5
