John Denver - My Old Man Lyrics
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.(these words are incorrect at this time)My old man had a round of soulHed hear an old freight trainThen hed have to goSaid hed been blessed with a gypsy boneThats the reason they guessedHed been cursed to roamCame into town back before the warDidnt even know what itWas he was looking forHe carried a tattered bag for his violinIt was full of lots of songsOf places he had beenHe talked real easyHad a smiling way to pass abn^. to youWhen his fiddle playedMaking people drop their cares and woesTo hum out loud those tunesThat his fiddle howedTill the people there began to join that soundAnd everyone in town wasLaughing, singing, dancing roundLike the fiddlers tune wasAll the years that passedThat love would keep them warmAll their lives theyd shareA dream come trueAll because she danced while his fiddle tunedMy old man had a round of soulHed hear an old freight trainThen hed have to goAll that I recall said when I was youngNo one else could reallySing those songs he sungWords and music by walker
