I was cleaning out the attic After Grandpa passed away Lying there in the corner Was a dusty fiddle case Well I popped those rusty hinges And I began to cry There was Grandpa's fiddle Lying silently inside Underneath the veil In that old fiddle case I found the note, that Grandpa wrote Before he passed away He said, "Child, if you're reading this I'm already Home. Now its up to you To keep the music playing on I reached for that old fiddle, I rosined up the bow I began to play the old songs He taught me years ago Like the Old Rugged Cross And Amazing Grace That old fiddle still remembered Every song that Grandpa played I'm standing here today With that old fiddle in my hand I can almost see my Grandpa Over in the Promised Land Oh somehow I know he's listen' In that land so far away So until I join him Oh let the music play I reached for that old fiddle, I rosined up the bow I began to play the old songs He taught me years ago Like the Old Rugged Cross And Amazing Grace That old fiddle still remembered Every song my Grandpa played
