Hickory grove, wait for me Im just as poor as a man can be. Hickory grove, wait for me Im just as blind as the other men That see. Hickory grove, make the sun Rise slower I dont have much time. Hickory grove, watch me run Down through the years of my prime. Lady luck, play your hand Ive got a life for you to play with Hickory grove, you will stand... Ive got a dream that I can stay with.
