does anyone here know the lyrics and the real title for the song "fiddlin's fiddlin', fiddlin's fun". I think it is about Uncle Jed playing the fiddle in his Colorado home... it might be by arlo guthrie but I can't find it any where. I learned it from someone who changed the words and now I want to here the real words. Thanks a lot

You were close, but it's Uncle Jeff:


UNCLE JEFF
by Arlo Guthrie

Uncle Jeff played the fiddle in his Colorado home
And I backed him on the banjo so he didn't play alone
We've got five generations of a fiddle playin' clan
And it's nice to hear a fiddle by a fiddle playin' man

Here's another song for Uncle Jeff Guthrie
Written on the road by the light of the moon
Thinkin' 'bout fiddlin' somewhere up in Michigan
I hope that I can make it back to Colorado soon

Well my daddy had a fiddle and he laid it on his son
Sayin' "Son play the fiddle like your fiddlin' folks done"
Well it's hard to Iearn to fiddle
When you're fiddlin' on the run
But fiddlin' is fiddlin', and fiddlin' is fun
