Johnny Lee - Cherokee Fiddle lyrics
Your rating:
When the train pulled into the station He pulled up his sleeves and rosined up his bow A little upside down Orange Blossom Special Cause if you want to make a living you gotta put on a good show When he smelled the smoke and the cinders Hes slicked back his hair and opened up his case Played Cherokee Fiddle hes played for the whiskey Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place He was always there playing for the miners Devils Dream was a song they understood Then hes go back to Oklahoma Hed wait till the train was running and the weather was good When he smelled the smoke and the cinders Hes slicked back his hair and opened up his case Played Cherokee Fiddle hes played for the whiskey Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboys And the cowboys are putting leather and turquoise on And the music is sold by lawyers And the fool who fiddle in the middle of the station is gone Some people say theyll never miss him Old fiddles squeal like the engine breaks Cherokee Fiddle is gone forever Just like the music of the whistle that the old locomotion makes When you smelled the smoke and the cinders Just slicked back your hair and opened up your case Playing Cherokee Fiddle play it for the whiskey Cause good whiskey never let you lose your place No good whiskey never let you lose your place No good whiskey never let you lose your place
