The one that I took dancing the one that I called a baby

Walked down the aisle this morning with her old used to be

Waitress take the band another round and tell them it's on me

And ask them to do me one more favor please

Let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead

He gets the kind of sound that my lonely heart needs

I hear he's lost his darlin' just like me let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead

[ fiddle ]

He struck a tune earlier this evening

A lonesome song called Faded Love his favorite melody

When I hear he's lost his darlin' just like me

Let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead
