Hickory Grove, wait for me I'm just as poor as a man can be. Hickory Grove, wait for me I'm just as blind as the other men that see. Hickory Grove, make the sun Rise slower I don't have much time. Hickory Grove, watch me run Down through the years of my prime. Lady Luck, play your hand I've got a life for you to play with Hickory Grove, you will stand... I've got a dream that I can stay with.
