Old Crow Medicine Show - We're All In This Together Lyrics

We're All In This Together Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Well my friend, I see your face so clearly
Little bit tired, Little bit worn through the
Years
You sound vervous, You seem alone
I hardly recognised your voice on the
Telephone

In between I remember
Just before we wound up broken-down
We drive out to the edge of the highway

Follow that lonesome dead-end road
Sign south

(Chorus)
We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your
Tears

Come my friend let's put this thing
Together
And walk the path our worn out feet
Has trod
If you want we could go on forever
Give up your jades ways spell your
Name to God

(Chorus)

All we are is a picture in a mirror
Fancy shoes to grace our feet
All there is is a slow road to freedom
Heaven above and the devil beneath

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - We Don't Grow Tobacco Lyrics

We Don't Grow Tobacco Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Hardest work that ever I done,
Been beneath that burnin' sun
Was haulin' that tobacco 'round to cure.
Oh we'd chop that wicked weed
Till our hands and fingers bleed
I'm working like a mule, maybe more

We've been farmin' on this land since 1810
Through flood and drought and pestilence and war
Now I am sad to say
That I've lived to see this day
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Chorus:
We don't grow, we don't grow
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
We don't grow, we don't grow
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Grandpa told me, "This I know
Change is coming, won't be slow
Knocking just like a thunder at the door
Better fields are all around
Empty bars just fallin' down
... coming up through the floor"

Once we growed it by the pound,
Now the kids all moved to town
And all that's left are...
Now I sure am sad to say
That I've lived to see this day
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more

Chorus:
We don't grow, we don't grow
It's still the only work will ever know
Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Yes I sure am sad to say
This way of life has gone away
Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more
No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel Lyrics

Wagon Wheel Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Old Crow Medicine Show - Union Maid Lyrics

Union Maid Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Now there once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
She went to the union hall where a meeting it was called,
And when the boys would come up to her
Oh this is what she'd say

(Chorus)
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.

Now this union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
She'd take the dare, she didn't care, she always organized the guys.
And she always got her way when she asked for better pay.
She showed her card to the National Guard
Honey this is what they'd say

(Chorus)

Now you girls who want to be free, just take a little tip from me;
Oh get you a man who's a union man and you can join the ladies' auxiliary.
Because married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
And a union life is a happy life when you got a union wife.

(Chorus x2)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Trials And Troubles Lyrics

Trials And Troubles Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Down the track this morning she did stroll
In an accident her foot got caught in a hole
I'm going to tell you the truth
Die for a touch of that cold hand
I'd be crying every time the Southern makes it's run

I'm going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me

She's a ramblin' gal
Bound to leave her home
I begged my brown skin
Please don't leave me alone
I'm going to make amends
Bound to cry to touch her hand
I'm going to ride that line
'Till I see that black train come

I'm going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me

Now people that Southern Pacific make her run
From Chapel Hill to the state of Washington
Round the bend at 40 miles
20 tons of loaded frieght a-comin' on
Florscheim's stuck and it won't come out
My good gal's dead and gone

I'm going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me

Trials and troubles are heavy for me

Old Crow Medicine Show - The Silver Dagger Lyrics

The Silver Dagger Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Oh Katie dear, go ask your mama
If you can be a bride of mine
If she says yes, come back and tell me
If she says no, we'll run away

Oh Willie dear, there's no use in askin'
For she's in her room, a-takin' rest
And by her side lies a silver dagger
To slay the one that I love best

Oh Katie dear, go ask your papa
If you could be a bride of mine
If he says yes, come back and tell me
If he says no, we'll run away

Oh Willie dear, there's no use in askin'
For he's in his room, a-takin' rest
And by his side lies a silver dagger
To slay the one that I love best

Then he picked up that silver dagger
And he stole it through his troubled heart
Saying, "goodbye Katie, goodbye darlin'
I'll die for the one that I love best"

Then she picked up that bloody dagger
And she stole it through her lily-white breast
Saying, "goodbye Mama, goodbye Papa
I'll die for the one that I love best"

Old Crow Medicine Show - The Greatest Hustler Of All Lyrics

The Greatest Hustler Of All Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Well I met her on the corner of Broadway
Said she seen me coming for a mile
I guess I should have known she was trouble
By the hood wink in her eye
She said, "Now watch my hands real careful"
But I should've been watching her feet
Before I knew it
She stole my heart and my wallet
Went running on down the street

(Chorus)
The Greatest Hustler of All
Stands about four foot nine
Made to be a moocher, low-down hoochie coocher
Her daddy made her walk the line
Hustles with the greatest of ease
Fools any boy anytime
The Greatest Hustler in all of this world
Been hustlin' this heart of mine

Now I've been hustled on the streets of Chicago
And the levees of New Orleans
But I never knew a woman to work so fast
She's what you call a hustlin' queen
Well I took her to the fair on Friday
We stepped into the kissing booth
When I puckered my lips
To steal me a kiss
She went and stole my gold tooth

(Chorus)

Well if you see her coming this way boys you'd better take care
'Cause she'll hustle your heart away into the air

So fellas if your down on the corner
She's not that hard to find
She's the Greatest Hustler in all of this world
She stands about four foot nine

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Tennessee Pusher Lyrics

Tennessee Pusher Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Out on the lonely highway
I'm riding your way
Tell your momma to bar the cabin door

Heading out on a short run
Just looking for someone
Who doesn't love me anymore

Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher

Last night in the hollar
I made a thousand dollars
But I couldn't believe just what I saw

You were out in the moonlight
Until the break of daylight
Giving your love to the law

Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher

Climbing up on the mountain
Heartbeat pounding
Reckless as a cyclone

You're the one that am after
But I am a wanted man for
Bringing it all back home

Now there's gunsmoke in the valley
Blood like jelly
As three crows circle a dead tree

One for the lover
One for the pusher
One for the deputy

Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee pusher
Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher

Old Crow Medicine Show - Tell It To Me Lyrics

Tell It To Me Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Well I'm ridin' down Fifth Street, I'm comin' down Main
I tried to bum a nickel for to buy cocaine
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead

Chorus:
Now won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead

I sniff cocaine before I die
I'd be sniffin' cocaine if it took my life
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead

(Chorus)

Now I sniff cocaine, I sniff it in the wind
The doc he says it'll kill me but he can't say when
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead

(Chorus)

All them rounders that think they're tough
But they feed their women on the beer and the snuff
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Take 'em Away Lyrics

Take 'em Away Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

(Chorus)
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits
Not free
Lord take away these chains from me

Some birds feathers are too bright to
Be caged
I know I'm not that colorful but a bird
Just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put
Down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my
Home

(Chorus)

Sun beating down, my legs can't seem
To stand
There's a boss man at a turnrow with a
Rifle in his hand
I've got nine children, nothin in the pan
My wife she died hungrey while I was
Plowin' Land

(Chorus)

Can't see when I go to work, can't see
When I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in
Debt
If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't
Seen one yet

(Chorus)

Land that I love is the land that I'm
Workin
But it's hard to love it all the time when
Your back is a-hurting
Getting too old now to push this here
Plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at
The clouds

(Chorus)

Land that I know is where tworivers
Collide
The Brazos The Navaso and the big blue
Sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon
Vines
Of any place on God's green earth, This
Is where I choose to die

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Poor Man Lyrics

Poor Man Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Hush up honey, don't you cry
Things are going to get better in the by-
And-by
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Work through the winter, work through the
Spring
Yeah plant my corn and taters and then
It wouldn't rain
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Now I got down on my knees
Lord I thought I'd pray
Along come a great big flood
Washed everything away
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Work through the winter, Lord, work
Through this fall
All I got for Christmas was a pair of
Overalls
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Well I got down on my knees
Looked up to the sky
All I can think of is to ask the good Lord
Why
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Well hush up, honey, Lord don't get
Down
You know that I love you every way
Around
And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

And there ain't a thing for a poor man

In this world

Old Crow Medicine Show - My Good Gal Lyrics

My Good Gal Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Well she drug me down
Tossed me round
Slammed my name all over town
My good gal ain't no good to me
She makes true love more like misery

Now I'm walkin' hunched
I get drunk a bunch
Would you sucker up and take a punch
My good gal ain't no good to me
N' I think I've acted reasonably
Ah but I miss her....... mmmhhm
And all that I wish for her........ mmmhhmm

Is the time of day
Don't go out of your way
Just leave me with a stack of them bills to pay
My good gal ain't no good to me
And she don't even have the courtesy

To shut the door
When she's been playin a whore
Don't want to see his rags piled on the floor
My good gal ain't no good to me
And I only wish that she could see
That I miss her

Ah but I miss her.... mmmhhmm
All I have is a picture.... of her

It was taken years ago
I was a kid you know
Just leanin' up against that El Dorado
My good gal ain't no good to me
And the final word belongs to me

Because I drove her out of town
And I shot her down
And I left her there in the cold cold ground
My good gal ain't no good to me
Not even in her memory

Old Crow Medicine Show - Motel In Memphis Lyrics

Motel In Memphis Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Were you there when the man from Atlanta was
Murdered in Memphis?
Did you see him laying at the Lorraine Motel?
Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness
To the murder of a man at a motel in Memphis?

(Chorus)
Motel in Memphis
Motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody
There's blood on the riverside
Oh muddy water
Rollin' to Memphis
If you were there you'd swear
It was more then a man who died

Did you see Coretta she was sobbing on
The corner in her black veil?
Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin?
Did you walk downriver where the cottonwoods are swinging
With ghostly bodies of men?

(Chorus)

Were you there with Mahalia wailing at the funeral?
Did you watch them lower his casket in?
Did you tremble when you thought about the future
And cry out for a martyred man?

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Mississippi Saturday Night Lyrics

Mississippi Saturday Night Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Poor Mr. Deavel
From up in Clarksdale
Shot his brother with a pop, pop, pop
Spent 20 yrs of hard time, before he saw the light
Now he's preaching on the corner of a Mississippi Saturday night

Drop by the pawn shop by the motel
Dream all you want, you ain't goin nowhere
Ohh ladies in the juke joint are lookin for a fight
Hell, they'll hunt you like a rabbit on a Mississippi Saturday night

Oh, Vicksburg, Natchez down to Crescent City
Gulf Coast blues, Oh it sure is a pity
Don't make a lot of money,
Baby that's alright
Cuz we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi Saturday night

Oh Mr. semo
From? (City in Mississippi)
He's having coffee with your mama and your papa
If you're messin with his daughter
You better treat her right
Ohhh treat you like a possum on a mississippi saturday night

Oh, Vicksburg, Natchez down to Crescent City
Gulf Coast blues, Oh it sure is a pity
Don't make a lot of money,
Baby that's alright
Cuz we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi Saturday night

Drive through the Ball Park,
Out by the Walmart
Park on the levee, drinking 40's in the skylark
People on the river are lookin for a fight
Whole mess of catfish cookin' on a Mississippi Saturday night

Oh Mr. Hayworth,
Sings like a jay bird
More like a jail bird inside a FEMA trailer
He's gunna need a perio, the water's getting high
Or you'll be sleeping in the river on a Mississippi Saturday night

Oh, Vicksburg, Natchez down to Crescent City
Gulf Coast blues, Oh it sure is a pity
Don't make a lot of money,
Baby that's alright
Cuz we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi Saturday

Oh, Vicksburg, Natchez down to Crescent City
Gulf Coast blues, Oh it sure is a pity
Don't make a lot of money,
Baby that's alright
Cuz we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi Saturday night

I said we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi Saturday night

Old Crow Medicine Show - Methamphetamine Lyrics

Methamphetamine Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Times they ain't like nothing they use to be
From Rocky Mount to northeast Tennessee
Where the river flows with a dusty coal disease
And the babies whine cause they can't find nothing to eat
But mama she ain't hungry no more
She's waiting for a knock on the trailer door

(Chorus)
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
It's gonna rock you 'til you lose sleep
It's gonna rock you 'til you're out of a job
It's gonna rock you 'til you're out on the street
It's gonna rock you 'til you're down on your knees
It's gonna have you beggin' pretty please
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
Methamphetamine

Don't need no PHD for a hundred dollar car
Just find a crooked cop and that doctor disregard
Cause when it's either the mine or the Kentucky National Guard
I'd rather sell him a line then be dieing in the coal yard
Now papa he ain't hungryno more
He's waiting for a knock on the trailer door

(Chorus)

Well it's a war out there and it's fought by poor white men
From the Plateau to the falls of the Cumberland
You better watch your back cause you just can't trust a friend
Cause the method man is gonna get you in the end
So listen to the whispering wind
It sounds like a big storm rolling in

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Mary's Kitchen Lyrics

Mary's Kitchen Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

You can't blame a thief for stealing wallets
That's just what they do
You can't blame Mary for stealing hearts
When you taste her BBQ
She got a brisket nice and tender
Best you'll ever try
Way she cooks so nice and slow
Will keep you satisfied

(Chorus)
Kansas City to Memphis town
Arkansas on down
Come on into Mary's kitchen
If you want your sausage ground

She got a sign on her front porch says,
"Hot stuff for sale"
In a little three room shotgun
In the alley behind the jail
Sweet, sour, thick or thin
Tangy, hot or mild
Some like it hot, some like it cold
Some like it any way it's sold

(Chorus)

Poking at her charcoal grill
Putting sauce on her famous ribs
When it comes to what you want
The whole neighborhood's got dibs
One taste and you'll be hooked
It's like nothing else you've known
Find yourself on her kitchen floor
Hopin' she throws you a bone

(Chorus)

Old Crow Medicine Show - Levi Lyrics

Levi Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Born upon the Blue ridge, at the Carolina line
Baptized on the banks of the New River
Brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine
And tough as iron but a heart soft as leather
Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
10 000 miles from a southern town
Oh, Levi,

Like a fire on a mountain, running wild with no states
Playing nights at the golden horse shoe
And Indian raids
Now it's parachutes and combat boots
And camouflaged airplanes
And a country boy who don't belong
In the desert anyways

Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
10 000 miles from a southern town
Oh, Levi,

Well the sandbox sure gets lonesome
And it's 109 degrees
Singing carry my back to Virginia
Lord I'm down here on my knees
In the market square while the bells were ringing
Loud to fill the air
Levi gazed his eyes out, through the rocket glare
Beyond the desert and the ocean
To the furthest fields at home
And when the bullets pierced his body
He was already gone

Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
10 000 miles from a southern town
Oh, Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
Oh, Levi, Oh Levi.

Old Crow Medicine Show - James River Blues Lyrics

James River Blues Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

James River Blues
I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks
But they're bustin' down the docks

James River Blues
That train came on through
And the works gotten slow
So where's a boatman to go?

I think I'll float on down
To Richmond town
They don't need us anymore
Haulin' freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
Then we ever could before

I've seen good men going wrong
I've seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along
I'll be stepping out tonight

On the cool flow
Floatin' down down below
The bridge till the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledge
From the hills to the sea
I'll become a memory
