Story behind the song

Just a thought that came to me...

Lyrics

Daddy  was  a  fiddler,
Loved to fiddle  round,
Till he fiddled  with  the  wrong  mans  wife,
Who  put  him  in  the  ground. . . .

My  mother  was  my  hero,
Raised  three  boys  alone,
Held  two  full  time  factory  jobs,
Worked  her  fingers  right  to  the  bone. . .

Chorus

If  your  gonna  play  the  fiddle  son,
And  live  to  a  ripe  old  age,
Don't  go  doing  what  your'e  daddy  done,
Do  your  fiddlin  up  on  the  stage. .....

Hero's  don't  live  forever,
God  called  mine  home  last  June,
She  lived  to  be  only  sixty  three,
Lord  you  know  that  was  much  to  soon...

She  left  me  my  daddy's  fiddle,
Taught  myself  to  play,
And  while  I  fiddle  I  think  more  than  a  little,
Bout  the  words  that  she  had  to  say...

Chorus

If  your  gonna  play  the  fiddle  son,
And  live  to  a  ripe  old  age,
Don't  go  doing  what  your'e  daddy  done,
Do  you're  fiddlin  up  on  the  stage...

(Don't  go  doing  what  daddy  done,)
(Do  your'e  fiddlin  up  on  the  stage...)
