Lyrics:
First verse
Mister Brown, Mister Brown had a violin, Went around, all around with his violin. Lawdy, how he play'd it, away'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 ‘er, turtled doved ‘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
Second 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, roll'd her eyes at the leader man, Took his fiddle down to Mister Brown, to Just kiss him and cry.
(Chorus)
