- Oh, once upon a time in
Arkansas, An old man sat in his little cabin door,
And he fiddled at tune a that he liked to hear, A jolly
old tune that he played by ear.
It was raining hard but the fiddler didn't care, He sawed
away at the popular air,
Though his rooftree leaked like a water fall, That didn't
seem to bother the man at all.
-
- Ending:
- Didn't seem to bother the
man at all.
