Home studio copyright version. Traditional Country sound with piano and strings. Song has dynamics with time signature changes and back beats. Clever,very unique heartfelt lyric; fresh approach to a Country song. May fit into a movie, or T.V. show
I am a northerner, but feel great compassion for both sides who suffered greatly, fighting for what they believed in.
THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
© 2002 Cal
I'll always remember the day you appeared
Your voice from the hollow put me in tears
Grampa's old banjo still strapped on your back
Draggin' your musket behind you
All torn and tattered walkin’ along
Singin' that hillbilly song
La-dee-dee for a girl named Susanna
La-dee-dah for old Tucker Jimmee Crack Corn
A hurray for the band who always marched on
Singin' THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
I'll never forget the day you left
A patchwork of grey the brass on your chest
Your trusty old saber swung on your side
I prayed to the lord to guide you
You marched into battle through cannonball fire
Singin' that hillbilly song
La-dee-dee for a girl nammed Susanna
La-dee-dah for old Tucker Jimmee Crack Corn
A hurray for the band who always marched on
Singin' THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
La-dee-dah for the girl round the mountain
La-dee-dee for a brown jug the old folks at home
A hurrah for the good boys who sit on God's throne
They're still singin' they keep singin'
They're still singin' THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
They're still singin' THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
Singin' THAT OLD HILLBILLY SONG
