Lyrics
[verse]
Down in the holler where the fiddle starts to cry
A stranger came a-ridin' underneath the summer sky
Nobody knew his story, nobody knew his name
But every girl in town was never quite the same
[chorus]
Nobody knows the road that brought him here
Nobody knows just where he'll disappear
If it hadn't been for that wanderin' tune
I'd have been married a long time soon
[verse]
He played a song so wild it shook the old barn floor
Boots were stompin' faster than they'd ever stomped before
Then just like the wind he vanished with the dawn
Left an empty fiddle case and the party carried on
[chorus]
Nobody knows the road that brought him here
Nobody knows just where he'll disappear
If it hadn't been for that wanderin' tune
I'd have been married a long time soon
[bridge]
Some folks say he's ridin' still on a horse of gold
Some folks say his story never will grow old
Whatever way you tell it, one thing stays the same
That fiddle tune keeps callin' out his name
[chorus]
Nobody knows the road that brought him here
Nobody knows just where he'll disappear
If it hadn't been for that wanderin' tune
I'd have been married a long time soon
