Hickory grovewait for me
I’m just as poor as a man can be.
Hickory grovewait for me
I’m just as blind as the other men
That see.
Hickory grovemake the sun
Rise slower I don’t have much time.
Hickory grovewatch me run
Down through the years of my prime.
Lady luckplay your hand
I’ve got a life for you to play with
Hickory groveyou will stand…
I’ve got a dream that I can stay with.
