Old Hickory - Old Crow Medicine Show[00:00:00]

Lyricist：Ketch Secor/Critter Fuqua[00:00:09]

Composer：Ketch Secor/Critter Fuqua[00:00:18]

Virgil Lee was a mighty man[00:00:28]

He could outrun the L and N[00:00:30]

Caught a wild cat and made him his friend[00:00:35]

He was a flat woods boy[00:00:37]

Caught his learnin' from a runnin' brook[00:00:42]

Taught him go with the flow and don't get hooked[00:00:44]

But Virgil Lee kindly mistook[00:00:48]

The devil for a dear friend[00:00:51]

You can fool all the jokers with diamonds[00:00:54]

You can playboy ramblin' roots[00:00:58]

You can lie like a penny on the CNO line[00:01:01]

But the good Lord knows the truth[00:01:05]

Just like a old hickory[00:01:07]

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down[00:01:15]

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory[00:01:23]

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory[00:01:28]

It was Gainsboro at the Glow Worm Bar[00:01:49]

We were passin' around a jug and a guitar[00:01:53]

Virgil picked it like an Opry star[00:01:57]

I mean the boy was on fire[00:01:59]

I said hey Virgil Lee where'd you get that stuff[00:02:03]

He said I don't know I guess I made it up[00:02:06]

Well sometimes an empty cup[00:02:10]

Just overflows[00:02:13]

And all that summer was fire and rain[00:02:17]

Virgil Lee started nursin' the pain[00:02:21]

'Til every one of them songs he would play[00:02:24]

Was twisted falling down[00:02:27]

Like a old hickory[00:02:30]

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down[00:02:37]

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory[00:02:45]

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory[00:02:50]

Laid him out in his overalls[00:03:26]

'Cause when you get too big for your breeches well that's all[00:03:28]

Hung his fiddle and his flat top guitar[00:03:33]

Up in the high school gym[00:03:36]

Nobody remembers his name[00:03:40]

And I can't say anyone's to blame[00:03:42]

One of these times you gotta hear him play[00:03:46]

He was the greatest that's ever been[00:03:49]

You can fool all the jokers with diamonds[00:03:52]

You can playboy ramblin' roots[00:03:56]

You can lie like a penny on the CNO line[00:03:59]

But the good Lord knows the truth[00:04:03]

Just like a old hickory[00:04:05]

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down[00:04:13]

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory[00:04:20]

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut[00:04:26]

Old hickory[00:04:31]

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down[00:04:37]

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory[00:04:44]

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory[00:04:50]

Oh and that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory[00:04:57]
