Little Orphan Annie

Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie

Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea

Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square

If I'm not there, won't you play a song for me?

We all called her Little Orphan Annie at the playground

Merry go, merry go, merry go round

Till she picked her fiddle up, we always put her down

When she picked her fiddle up

They come for miles around to hear her play

Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie

Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea

Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square

If I'm not there, won't you play a song for me?

Aww, mad dog, diamond, Jim Richmond from the Tennessee Hot Band

John Hartford on the banjo, oh diamond, my oldest son Dale

John Hartford playin' the fiddle

And the banjo, Diamond Jim
