Oh, once up -on a time in Ar -kan -sas, An old man sat in his lit -tle cab -in door,
And he fid -dled at tune a that he liked to hear, A jol -ly old tune that he played by ear.
It was rain -ing hard but the fid -dler did -n't care, He sawed a -way at the pop -u -lar air,
Though his roof -tree leaked like a wat -ter fall, That did -nt seem to both -er the man at all.

Ending:

Oh, did -nt seem to both -er the man at all
