Some of my childhood summer memories
Primarily a songwriter, but I like to sing my own demos when the song fits .
Lyrics
Evergreen
© 2005 Chuck Delchamps
Grandpas truck was rusty and old / bouncin down that old dirt road
Hound dog sittin right next to me / little bit o fur, little bit o flea
Catfish tuggin on an old cane pole / Bright and early at the fishin hole
Caught him on a big red worm / Put him on a hook and watched him squirm
We were young without a care
I remember being there
Evergreen
Chorus:
Evergreen, it’s where my memories go
Evergreen, the hills are lined with gold
Evergreen, the place where I’ll grow old
Evergreen.
Sweet brown cow down in the barn / Gives up her milk, she works for the farm
Little red hen up under the house, / reach for an egg, you might get a mouse
Grandma’s cornbread off the stove, / Lil’ spot o butter, on my nose,
All my cousins sittin round me, / Few minutes more on Grandpas knee.
It’s getting late we’re in the tub
( spoken rhythmically )
Cold-water bath rub-a-dub dub …sixteen grandkids , one tub
Man we’re tired get in the bed, feathers flyin hit him in the head
Wake up early have some fun, ride a horse, shoot a gun
Ain’t it great to be in
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
Earsie’s on the front porch shellin butter beans
Uncle Williams in the field ridin John Deere Green
H.W’s got a bottle fed bull , they call him Tony
Evergreen, it’s where my memories go
Evergreen, the hills are lined with gold
Evergreen, the place where I’ll grow old
Evergreen.
Evergreen,
Evergreen,
Evergreen .
