Kind of a spin off of the Alabama song "If You're Gonna Play In Texas". It may not be original enough.
You Need A Fiddle To Two-step
By Jim Pate
March 27, 2019
When you come down to Texas
To play for a dance hall show
You gotta have a fiddler
Cause there's one thing you must know
Guitars are fine for the cowboy waltz
And playing rock and roll
But you need a Bob Wills fiddle
To twirl and do-si-do.
(Chorus)
In Texas we love to two-step
As we circle round the floor
If you ain't got a fiddle
Just head on out the door
I may enjoy the way you sing
But this fact I implore
Go get your band s fiddle
Or don't come back no more.
If you want to do some honky tonk
A piano will belong
And steel guitars I love to hear
For an old Hank William's song
Now we ain't big in Texas
For the sound of the old banjo
Cause you need a Bob Wills fiddle
To twirl and do-si-do
(Chorus)
In Texas we love to two-step
As we circle round the floor
If you ain't got a fiddle
Just head on out the door
I may enjoy the way you sing
But this fact I implore
Go get your band s fiddle
Or don't come back no more.
(Bridge)
Faded Love just don't sound right
Unless the fiddler can play all night
A few square dances I will do for fun
But the Texas two-step is why I come
(Chorus)
In Texas we love to two-step
As we circle round the floor
If you ain't got a fiddle
Just head on out the door
I may enjoy the way you sing
But this fact I implore
Go get your band a fiddle
Or don't come back no more.
Go get your band a fiddler
And give Bob Wills his due
Something old from Ernest Tubb
or even something new.
One in the style of Texas swing
Performed by Chris Ledoux.
As long as you have the fiddle
Most any song will do.
Or...
Yeah, get your band a fiddle
Who plays the great old two-step tunes
Texas Troubadour Ernest Tubb
Walking the floor over you
Or one in the style of Texas swing
Performed by Chris Ledoux.
As long as you have the fiddle
Most any song will do.
As long as you can fiddle
I'll two-step all night to you
