(These words are incorrect at this time) 

My old man had a round of soul 

He'd hear an old freight train 

Then he'd have to go 

Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone 

That's the reason they guessed 

He'd been cursed to roam 

Came into town back before the war 

Didn't even know what it

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Was he was looking for 

He carried a tattered bag for his violin 

It was full of lots of songs 

Of places he had been 

He talked real easy 

Had a smiling way to pass abn^. to you 

When his fiddle played 

Making people drop their cares and woes 

To hum out loud those tunes 

That his fiddle howed 

Till the people there began to join that sound 

And everyone in town was 

Laughing, singing, dancing round 

Like the fiddlers tune was 

Photos 

All the years that passed 

That love would keep them warm 

All their lives they'd share 

A dream come true 

All because she danced while his fiddle tuned 

My old man had a round of soul 

He'd hear an old freight train 

Then he'd have to go 

All that I recall said when I was young 

No one else could really 

Sing those songs he sung
