Listen and I'll tell you a tale about a man

Lived long ago in a magical land
Made himself a fiddle with a bow just right

Played all morning and he played all night
[CHORUS:]

They sang and they fiddled and they danced every tune

From 'Hey Diddle, Diddle' to 'The Cow In The Moon'

From 1:00pm till an hour past noon

From the day after May to just before June

[VERSE 2:]
One sad day when the man was gone
F C G/B
Along came a liar with a lying song

Said, "Come along with me to a sweet, sweet land"
Bb G
The fiddle said "Yes" and away they ran

When they got to the house of the liar

They found their host with a burning desire

He dragged them down in the flame and the fire

What a hot time in the house of the liar

When the man came back and he found them gone

Swapped all he had for the fiddle and bow

Tucked them in his arms and he took 'em on home
[CHORUS:]
[VERSE 5: 2x]
That's all there is to the tale of the man
Bb G
Lived long ago in a magical land
The fiddle and the bow that were twice his own
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
Bb G
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
