Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie
Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea
Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square
If I′m not there, won't you play a song for me?
We all called her Little Orphan Annie at the playground
Merry-go, merry-go, merry-go-round
′Til she picked her fiddle up, we always put her down
When she picked her fiddle up, they come from miles around
To hear her play
Play your fiddle, Little Orphan Annie
Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea
Play it for the tourists down in Mallory Square
If they don't care, won't you play a song for me?
And she′d play
Oh, man, oh
Diamond Jim Richmond from the Tennessee Hat Band
John Hartford on the banjo
Oh, Diamond
Mona Sundale
John Hartford playing the fiddle and the banjo
