| Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Mister Brown, Mister Brown had a violin
Went around, all around with his
violin
Lawdy, how he play'd it, sway'd it, made it moan so beautiful
Anna Lize, Anna Lize
heard his violin
Roll'd her eyes, roll'd her eyes at his violin
Lawdy, how he lov'd her,
turtledoved 'er
When Anna would cry
[chorus:]
Fiddle up, fiddle up on your
violin
Lay right on it, rest your chin upon it
Doggone you better begin
And play an
overture upon your violin
Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
Make it sooner, don't you
stop to tune 'er
Fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle of your ragtime violin
[2nd
verse:]
Mister Brown, Mister Brown at a fancy ball
Sat around, sat around, sat around the
hall
Wouldn't take a chance to dance because the band was terrible
Anna Lize, Anna Lize
hit upon a plan
Roll'd her eyes, roll'd her eyes at the leaderman
Took his fiddle down to
Mister Brown to
Just kiss him and cry |
