作曲：Ketch Secor+Critter Fuqua

Virgil Lee was a mighty man

He could outrun the elements

Caught a wild cat and made him his friend

He was a flat woods boy

Caught his learnin' from a runnin' brook

Taught him go with the flow and don't get hooked

But Virgil Lee kindly mistook

The devil for a dear friend

You can fool all the jokers with diamonds

You can playboy ramblin' roots

You can lie like a penny on the CNO line

But the good Lord knows the truth

Just like a old hickory

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory

It was Gainsboro at the Glow Worm Bar

We were passin' around a jug and a guitar

Virgil picked it like an Opry star

I mean the boy was on fire

I said Hey Virgil Lee where'd you get that stuff

He said I don't know I guess I made it up

Well sometimes an empty cup

Just overflows

And all that summer was fire and rain

Virgil Lee started nursin' the pain

'Til every one of them songs he would play

Was twisted falling down

Like a old hickory

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory

Laid him out in his overalls

'Cause when you get too big

for your breeches well that's all

Hung his fiddle and his flat top guitar

Up in the high school gym

Nobody remembers his name

And I can't say anyone's to blame

One of these times you gotta hear him play

He was the greatest that's ever been

You can fool all the jokers with diamonds

You can playboy ramblin' roots

You can lie like a penny on the CNO line

But the good Lord knows the truth

Just like a old hickory

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut

Old hickory

Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down

There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory

And that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory

Oh and that long tall scraggily bitter nut old hickory
