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.
