Diddleye Day Songtext
von Tim O’Brien

Well, I hear the rooster crow
Caffeine up and here I go
Lord, I pray it′s a diddle-eye-day
I got me a list of honey do's
I reach down to tie my shoes
I′m on my way
It's a diddle-eye-day
Mm-mm, it's a diddle-eye-day

Diddle-eye-ohh, diddle-eye-ay
Diddle-eye-whistle, diddle-eye-say
Diddle in the middle of the fiddle I play
It′s a diddle-eye-day

Oh, yeah


Cool my feet down in the crick
I whittle a while on a hickory stick
Sing a little lick
It′s a diddle-eye-day
I walk the dog, I slop the hog
And I might even saw some logs
Just because it's a diddle-eye-day
Mm-mm, diddle-eye-day

Diddle-eye-ooh, diddle-eye-ay
Diddle-eye-whistle, diddle-eye-say
Diddle in the middle of the fiddle I play
It′s a diddle-eye-day

Get your banjo, sing me a song
Pass around that demijohn
Dance a step to old Lost John

Diddle-eye-ooh, diddle-eye-ay
Diddle-eye-whistle, diddle-eye-say
Diddle in the middle of the fiddle I play
It's a diddle-eye-day

I like cornbread, I like beans
I like hangin′ in the bluegrass scene
Every day is a diddle-eye-day
Mm-mm, diddle-eye-day
