Fiddler's Dram

Lyrics

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Mmm, fiddler's dam

Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam

I'm goin' back to Abraham
I'm goin' back to Abraham
I'm goin' back to Abraham
I'm goin' back to Abraham

I'm gonna light a bottle in my hand
Tell me more about old fiddler's dam
Daddy's gon' light a little bottle in my hand
Tell me more about old fiddler's dam
Daddy's gon' light a little bottle in my hand

I dig a hole and put the devil in
I dig a hole and put the devil in
I'm gonna dig a hole and put the devil in
Can you dig a hole? Let me dig a hole
Can you dig a hole? Let me dig a hole

I shake a pole, I'll shake a pole
I shake a pole, I'll shake a pole
I'm goin' back to old fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to old fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to old fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to old fiddler's dam

Talkin' 'bout Sam, Uncle Sam
Talkin' 'bout Sam, Uncle Sam
Talkin' 'bout Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam, bottle in my hand

Abraham, Abraham
Abraham, Abraham
Abraham, fiddle in my hand
Fiddle in my hand, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, Uncle Sam
Fiddler's dam, fiddle in my hand
Fiddler's dam, I dig a hole
I dig a hole, I dig a hole

I'm gonna dig a hole and put the devil in
I'm gonna dig a hole and put the devil in
I'm gonna dig a hole and put the devil in
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout fiddler, fiddler's dam
Talkin' 'bout lightin' a bottle in my hand

Hee-hee-hoo, whoo-hoo
Hee-hee-hoo, whoo-hoo
Hee-hee-hoo, whoo-hoo
Hee-hee-hoo, whoo-hoo

I'm goin' back to fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to fiddler's dam
I'm goin' back to fiddler's dam

Sit down by Abraham
Sit down by Abraham
Sit down by Abraham
Sit down by Abraham

Tell me more about Uncle Sam
Tell me more about Uncle Sam
Tell me more about Uncle Sam
Tell me more about Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Abraham, Abraham

And the land, and the land
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam

Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
Fiddler's dam, fiddler's dam
