    Lyrics[]

    Verse 1

    Now, Ebo Walker was born in Kentucky and raised by his daddy on a hillside farm
    He took up fiddle playing just for fun, that's the last work Ebo Walker done

    Chorus

    Ebo Walker was a mighty fine fiddle player
    Ebo Walker was a mighty fine fiddle player

    Verse 2

    Well, Ebo Walker left Kentucky 'cause Ebo's daddy said "Durn your hide"
    You won't plant corn and you won't make hay, you sit on the porch and play that thing all day

    Verse 3

    Well, Ebo Walker, he walked and he fiddled and he walked and he fiddled and he drank till he died
    But I've heard tell when the winds are down and the moon shines bright and the leaves are brown
    You can hear old Ebo Walker all around
