Till the Fiddles Fall Apart

Intro

Well now folks I gotta tell you a story

About a girl and a mandolin

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I met her at the market buying olives and a plum

She had a mandolin strapped to her back

And a smile that made my knees go numb

I said hello she said hello back

Then I dropped my whole bag of figs

And she laughed so hard she nearly fell

Right off the little wooden bridge

Pre-Chorus

So I asked her for her name

She said guess and I said June

She said wrong but close enough

And then she hummed a little tune

Chorus

Oh baby be my harbor be my home

Oh baby never leave me all alone

I got two left feet and a rusty heart

But I will love you till the fiddles fall apart

Post-Chorus

La-la-la la-la-la

Till the fiddles fall apart

La-la-la la-la-la

Verse 2

Now she plays that mandolin like thunder plays the sky

I play the spoons and honestly

I do not know why

She cooks a stew that could wake the dead

I burn the toast and set off the alarm

But every single Sunday

She still tucks me underneath her arm

Pre-Chorus

And she says you are a fool

I say yes I know I am

But a fool who loves you truly

Is a pretty lucky man

Chorus

Oh baby be my harbor be my home

Oh baby never leave me all alone

I got two left feet and a rusty heart

But I will love you till the fiddles fall apart

Post-Chorus

La-la-la la-la-la

Till the fiddles fall apart

La-la-la la-la-la

Bridge

Now some folks chase the fancy cars

And some folks chase the gold

I just chase this woman here

Who never does what she is told

She taught me how to polka

She taught me how to cry

She taught me that a grown man

Can wear a purple tie

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh baby be my harbor be my home

Oh baby never leave me all alone

I got two left feet and a rusty heart

But I will love you till the fiddles fall apart

Post-Chorus

La-la-la la-la-la

Till the fiddles fall apart

La-la-la la-la-la

La-la-la la-la-la

Till the fiddles fall apart

Outro

So if you see us walking

Down the crooked little street

Just wave and don't disturb us

We are busy being sweet

Mm-hmm yes we are
