Sawin' on the Strings



Capo 1


A D A E A D A E A   x1


  A                   D        
Way back in the mountains

  A                 E      
Way back in the hills

        A                D            
There used to live a mountianeer
A             E        A     
They called him Fiddlin' Will

 A                     D         
He could play most anything

      A                   E     
And some say he could sing

          A                   D                 
But the one thing that he liked to do best

       A       E         A         
Was sawing on the strings..



     A                   
So get out the fiddle

       A                
And rosin up the bow

  A                     E               
Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe

  A                           D            
We'll make music til the rafters ring

     A                       E               A       
And ol' man pickin and a sawin on the string.


A D A E A D A E A x1

            A                D        
When the neighbors had a shindig

           A                    E    
And they all had viddles to eat

        A               D             
We'd always have to wait on Will

           A         E       A       
For the frolic to be complete

          A                      D        
When he comes down from the mountain

          A               E     
All the gals began to sway

    A                       D              
Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string

  A           E          A     
Until the break of day.



     A                     
So tune up the 5 string

   A                   
Tighten up the hyde

  A                            E           
Tell all the young ones to get inside

   A                           D            
We'll make music till the rafters ring

     A                        E               A       
And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the string.


A D A E A D A E A x1

     A                     
So tune up the 5 string

  A                    
Tighten up the hyde

  A                            E           
Tell all the young ones to get inside

   A                           D            
We'll make music till the rafters ring

     A                        E             
And ol man pickin' and a sawing on the

   A         
String...
