Lyrics

Make my bed with a crease in the middle Make my home in the Hollywood of shills And I make my living with a hillbilly fiddle Playing little runs with the funny little fills Well, got me a gal from playing on my fiddle And the farder that I fiddle the harder that she comes along But we gotta get happy when we wiggle in the middle That's when I know that I want to come home

Play, fiddle, play All day long I hear you screaming at mt Way far away in the yard

Well, I wrote this song With a vamp in the middle And I knew when I wrote it That I'd written it for the fiddle Play, fiddle, play All day long I hear you screaming at me Way far away in the yard

About This Song

Vamp In The Middle is a quirky John Hartford tune that became a jam session favorite after being popularized by the Dillards in the 1960s. Hartford's offbeat humor and unique songwriting style shine through in this playful number about a mysterious woman.
