I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Play an old time fiddle song
I might even drink just a little

If you play Little Jolie Blon
If you're lookin' or me
I'm liable to be

In the middle of the ol' dance floor
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore


First Chorus:
I wanna throw down on a hoe down

Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown

When you put a little rosin on the bow
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore


I miss ol' Herman Stover
Playin' Listen To The Mockingbird
It was Piedmont, Oklahoma

It was the sweetest sound I ever heard
Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band
You could barely get the people in the door

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore


Second Chorus:
I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know

Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow

Play diggy diggy li
Diggy diggy lo
The a little Cotten-Eyed Joe

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore


First chorus,
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
