At the Old Time Music Newsgroup, Cary Fridley, formerly of the Freight Hoppers, posted a request for this a couple of weeks ago.

Can someone out there help me with the words to "Old Uncle Dudy" from the Coon Creek Girls? Thanks, Cary Fridley

So far she has had no response. Anyone here got them?

I was able to locate my tape of The Girls of the Golden West, but so far the Coon Creek Girls have eluded me. (by the way, the NEW Coon Creek Girls are only marginally related to the CCG ~~ mostly in name only)

The original Coon Creek Girls sing a song which has the refrain "Keep fiddlin' on , Uncle Dudy, Uncle Dudy, Keep fiddlin on." I've worn out the cd trying to understand all the lyrics. Anyone else know this one?

I just put out a similar thread and then realized there was one out there. If someone is still reading this thread let me know. I've got a bunch of the words, but haven't been able to get all of them.

Cary Fridley must have worked out some words that she likes, because she sings this song on her album "Neighbor Girl." There a generous sound sample on this page. Here's my attempt at a transcription, but there are some gaps:

Now old Uncle Dudy in the shade of a tree,
He played on his fiddle in the key of D.
Now the sheep's in the meadows and the cow's in the corn,
But our Uncle Dudy could ...

CHORUS: Keep fiddlin' on, Uncle Dudy, Uncle Dudy.
Keep fiddlin' on. Just fiddle right on.
Keep fiddlin' on, Uncle Dudy, Uncle Dudy,
Till the old man's gone, till the old man's gone.

Well, hi, Uncle Dudy, how you feelin' today?
... pretty well, ... say
...
But I sure can't handle that fiddle any more. CHORUS

Now Aunt Mina hollered just as loud as she could:
"Say, Uncle Dudy, ... wood."
Well, he kept on a-fiddlin' and he never turned his head.
Well, he never heard a dang word the old gal said. CHORUS
