This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little
hands on (so to speak). Now, each one
included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only
as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to
make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous
by nature.

Cherokee Fiddle
Johnny Lee
When the train
Pulled in to the
station
Rolled up his
sleeves
Rosins up his bow
Fiddle upside down
Orange Blossom Special
'Cause
If you want to make
a livin’
You got to put on a
good show
When he'd smell
The smoke and the
cinders
Slick back his hair
Opened up his case
Play Cherokee
Fiddle
He'd play it for
the whiskey
'Cause good whiskey
Never let him lose
his place
He was always there
Playin’ for the
miners
Devil's Dream
Was a song they
understood
Then he'd go back
To Oklahoma
And he'd wait
‘Til the trains
were a-runnin’
And the weather was
good
When he'd smell
The smoke and the
cinders
He’d slick back his
hair
Open up his case
Play Cherokee
Fiddle
He'd play it for
the whiskey
'Cause good whiskey
Never let him lose
his place
Now the Indians
Are dressin’ up
like cowboys
And the cowboys
Are puttin’ leather
and turquoise on
And the music
Is sold by lawyers
And the fools who
fiddled in the middle of the station are gone
Some folks say
They ain't never
gonna miss him
Old Fiddle squealed
Like the engines
brakes
Cherokee Fiddle
He’s gone forever
Just like the music
of the whistle
That the old
locomotives made
So when you smell
The smoke and the
cinders
Just slick back
your hair
Open up your case
Play Cherokee
Fiddle
Just play it for
the whiskey
'Cause good whiskey
Will never let you
lose your place
No
Good whiskey
Will never let you
lose your place
No
Good whiskey
Will never let you
lose your place
