Merle Haggard - Dad's Old Fiddle (1972) lyrics

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 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 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 his song And together we'll play this song once again And then we'll play
