A Nickel For The Fiddler
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a nickel for the fiddler
It's a nickel for his tune
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon
And it's a high holiday on the twenty-first of June
And it's country music in the park and everybody's ruined
It's fountains full of dogs and kids
And it's freaky apple pie
It's the ones’ that’s came to play
And the ones just passin' by
It's coats of many colours
And it almost makes me cry
It's ice cream on a stick
And it's somethin' you can’t buy
It's a fiddler from Kentucky
Who swears he's eighty three
And he's fiddled every contest
From here to Cripple Creek
It's old ones and it's young ones
And it's plain they have agreed
And it's country music in the park
As far as they can see
It's a nickel for the fiddler
It's a nickel for his tune
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon
And it's a high holiday on the twenty-first of June
And it's country music in the park and everybody's ruined
