Eighteen nineteen twenty years ago

There was a man called fiddlestick joe

Blew into town on a travelin' show

Showed us the dance

He called the fiddlestick joe

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Down from the mountain

To the valley below

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Dancin' and a fiddlestickin'

Everywhere you go

I gotta shovel my wife's got a hoe

If that ain't farmin' buddy I don't know

Chicken in the bread

Pan pickin' out dough

Granny does your dog bite

No child no

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Down from the mountain

To the valley below

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Dancin' and a fiddlestickin'

Everywhere you go

Cornstalk fiddle and a shoe string bow

Wouldn't play nothin' but fiddlestick joe

Play it all fast or play it all slow

But don't play nothin' but fiddlestick joe

I went out west to idaho

To see if people there play

The fiddlestick joe

I went out east to tokyo

People everywhere play

The fiddlestick joe

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Down from the mountain

To the valley below

Fiddlestick joe fiddlestick joe

Dancin' and a fiddlestickin'

Everywhere you go

Dancin' and a fiddlestickin'

Everywhere you go

Dancin' and a fiddlestickin'

Everywhere you go
