Intro: D Bm A D

           F#m   Bm            A

My old man had a rounder's soul

He'd hear an old freight train

D

Then he'd have to go

                       F#m    Bm        A

Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone

That's the reason they guessed

D

He'd been cursed to roam

               F#m  Bm            A

Came into town back before the war

Didn't even know what it was

D

He was looking for

                    F#m    Bm        A

Carried a tattered bag for his violin

It was full of lots of songs

   D

Of places that he'd been

                   F#m  Bm                A

He talked real eeaassy, had a smiling way

To pass along to you

D

When his fiddle played

              F#m        Bm             A

Making people drop their cares and woes

To hum out loud those tunes

D

That his fiddle howled

                  F#m  Bm                      A

Till the people there began to join that sound

And everyone in town was laughing

D

Singing, dancing round

                   F#m

Like the fiddler's tune

    Bm                        A

Was all they heard that night

As if some dream said

 D

"All the world is right"

               F#m           Bm            A

His fiddler's eye caught one beauty there

She had that rollin', flowin'

D

Golden kind of hair

                  F#m     Bm              A

He played for her as if she danced alone

Played his favorite songs

D

Ones he called his own

                  F#m       Bm          A

He played until she was the last to go

Stopped and packed his case

D

And said he'd take her home

F#m  Bm

A    D

                      F#m     Bm            A

All the nights that passed a child was born

All the years that passed

     D

That love would keep them warm

                         F#m     Bm            A

All their lives they'd share a dream come true

All because she danced

D

While his fiddle tuned

           F#m   Bm             A

My old man had a rounder's soul

He'd hear an old freight train

  D

Then he'd have to go

               F#m     Bm                   A

All that I recall said when I was so young

There's no one else could really

D

Sing those songs he sung
