[A] [A] [E7] [E7] [A] [A] [E7] [A] [A].
Oh, when [A] I was a little lad of two or three
I [E7] learned to play the fiddle on my old dad’s knee
And the [A] first little diddle that he hung on me
Was a [E7] tune called Fiddler’s [A] Folly [A]
{c:}
I [A] played it on the fiddle every time that I could
Till the [E7] old man said "now, he’s getting’ pretty good"
Then it [A] didn’t take long ‘til the whole neighbourhood
Was [E7] dancin’ to the Fiddler’s [A] Folly. [A]
{c:}
My [A] school days came and I fiddled them away
Cause I [E7] didn’t want to work, all I did was play
And my [A] chest puffed up a little more each day
By the [E7] Devil and the "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
{c:}
[A] [A] [E7] [E7] [A] [A] [E7] [A] [A].
Now when my [A] head got bigger than my little home town
I [E7] thought my fortune could be found
[A] Playin’ in a big band, tourin’ all around
With a [E7] heart full of "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
{c:}
My [A] girl in the country, I left her blue
Got [E7] another in the city and I left her too
And the [A] only kind of love this fiddler knew
Was a [E7] love called "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
{c:}
I [A] played my fiddle till I fiddled everywhere
And I [E7] tried to get a break but there wasn’t any there
And I [A] found myself in a deep despair
A [E7] victim of "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
{c:}
[A] [A] [E7] [E7] [A] [A] [E7] [A] [A].
Now I [A] took my fiddle and I took my bow
And I [E7] went back home and I put on a show
But I [A] lost my shirt when they all said ‘No’
Get [E7] away with your "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
{c:}
And [A] now there’s a fiddler not so grand
He’s [E7] livin’ all alone like a broken man
A [A] worn out fiddle in the Devil’s hand
[E7] Fooled by the "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
So come [A] all you fiddlers, old and young
When you [E7] let your fiddle get a little high strung
[A] Remember the little fiddle-diddle I’ve sung
And the [E7] tune called "Fiddler’s [A] Folly" [A]
[A] [A] [E7] [E7] [A] [A] [E7] [A] [A]*
