From the recording Gary Davis - Country Songs
Lyrics
Music Played the Old-Time Way
I remember Me and Billy, down to Henry's Pond
Just sittin’ and a fishin’ and singin' a few songs
We both loved the music our families would play
The Fiddle and Banjo played the Old-Time way
Music played the Old-Time way
Daddy on the Fiddle, Mamma on the bass
Singing and dancing until the break of day
Music played the Old-Time way
Granny and Grandpa would dance up a storm
Just a swingin' each other, arm in arm
I love those memories of the home, of yesterday
And the Music played the Old-Time Way
Music played the Old-Time way
Daddy on the Fiddle, Mamma on the bass
Singing and dancing until the break of day
Music played the Old-Time way
Music played the Old-Time way
Daddy on the Fiddle, Mamma on the bass
Singing and dancing until the break of day
Music played the Old-Time way
