Now Ebo Walker was born in Kentucky, and raised by his daddy on a hillside farm
He took up fiddle playing just for fun, that's the last work Ebo Walker done

Well Ebo Walker left Kentucky
Cause Ebo's daddy said durn your hide
You won't plant corn, and you won't make hay
You sit on the porch and play that thing all day

Well Ebo Walker, he walked and he fiddled and he walked and he fiddled and he drank till he died

But I've heard tell when the winds are down and the moon shines bright, and the leaves are brown
You can hear old Ebo Walker all around
