Listen and I'll tell you a tale about a man

Made himself a fiddle with a bow just right

Played all morning and he played all night
[CHORUS:]

They sang and they fiddled and they danced every tune

[VERSE 2:]
One sad day when the man was gone
F C G/B
Along came a liar with a lying song

Said, "Come along with me to a sweet, sweet land"
Bb G
The fiddle said "Yes" and away they ran
[VERSE 3:]
C G
When they got to the house of the liar

What a hot time in the house of the liar
[VERSE 4:]
When the man came back and he found them gone

[VERSE 5:]
That's all there is to the tale of the man
Bb G
Lived long ago in a magical land
The fiddle and the bow that were twice his own

He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
The fiddle and the bow that were twice his own
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
