Charles Messina Poet Lyric

Tribute To Charlie Daniels

Charlie went up to heaven...
He and his soul of steel 
He said "If you don't mind I'll leave my music behind... 
I made that devil a deal" 

He came across him when he was young 
Sawin' on a fiddle playin' it hot 
He won a fiddle of gold against his soul 
A lesson the devil never forgot 

Charlie rosined up his bow... 
And he put the devil to rest 
Still, till this day even with his wings 
Charlie Daniels played the fiddle the best 


(R.I.P.) 
Charlie Daniels...
The "Long-Haired Country Boy"
