He fiddled during the night
He fiddled during the day
He fiddled as it took
His breath away

He fiddled by degrees
He fiddled by the bar
He fiddled when he
Was alone in his car

He fiddled on the prairie
He fiddled on the coast
He fiddled to the ones
Who loved him the most

He fiddled when he was applauded
He fiddled when he was stoned
He fiddled when he fell
And it broke his bones

He fiddled til he got tired
And I heard him say
Can someone please come
And take this fiddle away

This'd make a good song.

Hi Manna

I tried singing it and found that it needed a small change. It might sound good with someone playing a banjo.
