Cherokee Fiddle - Michael Martin Murphey
作曲:Michael Martin Murphey
When the train pulled in to the station
He rolled up his sleeves rosined up his bow
He fiddle upside down orange blossom special
If you want to make a living you've got to put on a good show
When he smelled the smoke and the cinders
Slicked his hair back opened up his case
Played cherokee fiddle played for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let him lose his place
He was always there playing for the miners
Devil's dream was a tune they all understood
Then he'd go back to oklahoma
And wait till the trains was a runnin
And the weather was good
When he smelled the smoke and the cinders
Slicked his hair back opened up his case
Played cherokee fiddle just played for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let him lose his place
Now the indians all dressed like cowboys
All the cowboys are puttin leather and turquoise on
And all the music is sold by the lawyers
And the fools who fiddled
In the middle of the stations are gone
Some folks say they'll never miss them
Fiddle screeched like the engine breaks
Cherokee fiddle gone forever
Like the music that the whistle on an old locomotive make
When you smell the smoke and the cinders
Slick your hair back open up your case
Play a cherokee fiddle play it for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let's you lose your place
Now
Good whiskey never let's you lose your place
