GOT A FIDDLE & A BOW AND AN OLD BANJO
COUPLE GUITAR PICKERS AND A PIANO
GOT TIED UP IN A CRAZY LITTLE TOWN
ON HIGHWAY NUMBER ONE
GOT A HOTEL ROOM CAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T GET THINGS DONE
BUT YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW DOWNSTAIRS
WHEN I WENT TO THE BAR, SETTLED IN MY CHAIR
ON THE STAGE WAS A BAND AND I GAVE THEM A HAND
CAUSE THEY PLAYED A SONG FOR ME
THEY GOT A FIDDLE & A BOW & AN OLD BANJO
COUPLE GUITAR PICKERS & A PIANO
THEY PLAYED OUT OF TUNE BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN THE CROWD GETS LOUD
THE SINGER BUYS HIS BOYS A ROUND
BUT HE COULDN'T STAND UP CAUSE HE BROKE HIS FOOT
AND HE'S BEEN IN A CAST SINCE MONDAY
WELL THEY HAD A SOUND THAT YOU COULDN'T PIN DOWN
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU'D HAVE TO SEE
BUT THEY PLAYED TO THE CROWD, I SENT THEM A ROUND ON ME
AS THE NIGHT WORE ON THEY SANG THEIR SONGS
THEY COULDN'T DO NOBODY NO WRONG
BUT THEY ALL GOT DRUNK SO THEY COULDN'T PACK UP
TILL THE SOBERED UP ON SUNDAY
THEY GOT A FIDDLE & A BOW & AN OLD BANJO
COUPLE GUITAR PICKERS & A PIANO
THEY PLAYED OUT OF TUNE BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN THE CROWD GETS LOUD
THE SINGER BUYS HIS BOYS A ROUND
BUT HE COULDN'T STAND UP CAUSE HE BROKE HIS FOOT
AND HE'S BEEN IN A CAST SINCE MONDAY
