Merle Haggard
Dad’s Old Fiddle
[Verse 1]
There's two nails in the wall above the door in the hall
Where Dad's old fiddle hung for twenty years
I recall as just a boy how my heart would beat with joy
When Daddy would play the song I loved to hear
And Daddy would play
[Verse 2]
Daddy never left us any will telling us what he'd give
But everybody knew his fiddle was mine
But the fiddle was all he left, so I had to teach myself
And I bet I played his song a million times
And I would play
[Verse 3]
Well, if Dad could see me now, oh I know that he'd be proud
To hear his old fiddle played once again
But maybe it won't be long till I join him in a song
And together we'll play this song once again
And then we'll play
