We were down on our luck in Houston
|
We were broke and we were needin' a job
|
We got a gig in this joint on the wrong side of town
|
And it was just about as rough as a cob
|
One night the door flew open and this dude walked in
|
He was as big as a mountain and as ugly as sin
|
It got quiet as a graveyard when he walked in
|
He looked like trouble with a capital T
|
|
He cleared off a whole row of barstools
|
Just to have him a place to sit
|
The bartender turned about three shades of purple
|
And the bouncer just up and quit
|
He come prowling cross the floor like a lion in a cage
|
Romping and stomping and shaking with rage
|
Well I thought I was gonna die when he walked up to the stage
|
He said there's something that I want you to do
|
|
He said play me some fiddle cause I love them fiddle songs
|
Play me some fiddle everybody can sing along
|
Well I'm mean and I'm ornery and I'm ready to fight
|
And if you want to get out of here alive tonight
|
You'd better play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on
|
|
Well I grabed up my fiddle and started sawing like never before
|
While he picked up a man with a drink in his hand
|
And threw him through a plate glass door
|
And then he grabbed up this dude and swung him round by the hair
|
He ripped up the tables and tore up the chairs
|
It took fifteen cops to get that fool out of there
|
And I heard him as they went through the door
|
|
Play me some fiddle cause I love that fiddle sound
|
Play me some fiddle play some fiddle and we'll all get down
|
I know I'm in trouble been a bad boy today
|
But just one more time before they take me away
|
Won't you play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on
|
|
[fiddle]
|
|
Play me some fiddle cause I love that fiddle sound
|
Play me some fiddle play some fiddle and we'll all get down
|
He said play me some fiddle cause I love them fiddle songs
|
Play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on
|
