Johnny O - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Way down in the delta

Where the days move slow

There’s a squeeze box player

Name a Little Johnny O

He’s got a four piece band

And they’re playin' real tight

Make the people go crazy

Every saturday night

Singing, Hey Johnny O

Let’s Fied-I-Ay

On the ol' bayou

Hey Johnny O

Well play the Tennessee Waltz

And the Zydeco

They like their Chuck Berry records

And some Fats Domino

But the thing they like the most

Is hearin' Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

That’s right Johnny

Well the Natches girls

They like to stroll around town

When Johnny starts a playin'

You see’em come unwound

Well the boys in the corner

All loosin' their minds

Gonna make their move

When Johnny gives the sigh

Singing, Hey Johnny O

Let’s Fied-I-Ay

On the ol' bayou

Hey Johnny O

Play the Tennessee Waltz

And the Zydeco

They like their old country records

They’re the mill for the soul

But the thing they like the most

Is hearin' Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Play it, Hey Johnny

That’s the ticket

(Let's get down girl)

Way down in the delta

Where the big blue flows

There’s a one little secret

That everybody knows

If you just can’t sleep

And you’re feelin' down

There’s an all-night cure

Outside of town

And it’s Hey Johnny O

Let’s Fied-I-Ay

On the ol' bayou

Hey Johhny O

Play the Tennessee Waltz

And the Zydeco

They like all those songs

On the radio

But the thing they like the most

Is hearin' Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh

Little Johnny O

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh hey

Hey Johnny

What is Fiedle-I-Oh?
