I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band

My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me down

Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town

I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke

But he's a-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap
G                        D
To Johnson City, Tennessee
Em                            C
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
