===============================
We went up on a mountain
to hear the old man play
And everything about him
was steeped in the old time way
The sound he made was stirring
it was magic it was fun
When asked what it was called back
when he smiled and he said son
[They called it music in the
church house in the fields
It was honest it was simple
and it made the hard times heal
It was music played
deep down in the mines
In the dark and lonesome prison
cells and behind battle lines
They called it music]
Our father's father's fiddle
tunes on Saturdays in town
Stayed in our heads and hearts
all week 'till it came back around
I swear the ghosts are with me
I feel them when I play
It wasn't all about the money
like it is today
chorus
We didn't have to read a
word to memorise a hymn
Or deep down in our soul you
knew the seed was sown within
There's a magic in the old songs
I hope will never stray
So love 'em like your children
don't let 'em get away
chorus
