Intro:
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
ch]D[/ch
Then he'd have to go
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone
That's the reason they guessed
ch]D[/ch
He'd been cursed to roam
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Came into town back before the war
Didn't even know what it was
ch]D[/ch
He was looking for
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Carried a tattered bag for his violin
It was full of lots of songs
ch]D[/ch
Of places that he'd been
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He talked real eeaassy, had a smiling way
To pass along to you
ch]D[/ch
When his fiddle played
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Making people drop their cares and woes
To hum out loud those tunes
ch]D[/ch
That his fiddle howled
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Till the people there began to join that sound
And everyone in town was laughing
ch]D[/ch
Singing, dancing round
ch]F#m[/ch
Like the fiddler's tune
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Was all they heard that night
As if some dream said
ch]D[/ch
"All the world is right"
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
His fiddler's eye caught one beauty there
She had that rollin', flowin'
ch]D[/ch
Golden kind of hair
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He played for her as if she danced alone
Played his favorite songs
ch]D[/ch
Ones he called his own
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He played until she was the last to go
Stopped and packed his case
ch]D[/ch
And said he'd take her home
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
All the nights that passed a child was born
All the years that passed
ch]D[/ch
That love would keep them warm
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
All their lives they'd share a dream come true
All because she danced
ch]D[/ch
While his fiddle tuned
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
ch]D[/ch
Then he'd have to go
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
All that I recall said when I was so young
There's no one else could really
ch]D[/ch
Sing those songs he sung
