John Arthur Martinez - The Man Who Holds the Bow lyrics



School let out, the June bugs came
And with the heat the prayers for rain
I spent that summer on my Granddad’s farm
Fiddling around and sweating up a storm

My Granddad sure was good with a bow
Wasn’t one fiddle song he didn’t know
And he tried to show me the way he played
You should’ve heard the noise I made

If I’ve learned a little my Granddad told me so
It ain’t so much the fiddle;
It’s the man who holds the bow
The man who holds the bow

After my chores were done and the sun sank low
He tried to show me ‘The Cotton-Eyed Joe’
I played that fiddle ‘til my fingers were sore
In my dreams I played a little more

Only learned one tune and I almost had it licked
As the hay was baled and the cotton was picked
Then a cool rain fell as the leaves began to fall
And I was fiddling at the harvest ball

If I’ve learned a little my Granddad told me so
It ain’t so much the fiddle;
It’s the man who holds the bow
The man who holds the bow
