Adam Calhoun - Leonard Calhoun lyrics
[Adam Calhoun - Leonard Calhoun lyrics]
Hard workin', hard hands
Sweatin' like the devil with my farmers tan
My grandfather said "Chop that wood
Don't cuss at your mama
Boy you got to be good"
Life goes by fast take it slow
One day you're young and the
Next day you're old he used to tell me all
This at our fishin' hole
I used to carry all his
Tackle and his fishin' pole
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
My daddy wasn't there but the old man was
He taught me how to fish
He taught me to hunt
And if I got bored he said widdle some wood
Or go take that ol' dog go
Get lost in the woods
I stay up all night and just sit on the porch
He used to tell me stories about
When he was a boy
He grew up down the hollar at
The end of Lick Fork
In a little old cabin and they were so poor
He started workin' at the age of 10
He left school and never went back again
I'll tell ya
Old boy could swing a hammer and an axe
And when times get tough
You'd get the shirt off his back
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
I'm older, and he's gone now
But I never forgot what we talked about
My grandfather told me stand up proud
Don't you ever start a fight
But don't ever back down
No, no, and I miss him so
It tears up my heart, it rips my soul
Now looking down the ridge where
We used to go i can still hear his voice
And I know he knows
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
Sweatin' like the devil with my farmers tan
My grandfather said "Chop that wood
Don't cuss at your mama
Boy you got to be good"
Life goes by fast take it slow
One day you're young and the
Next day you're old he used to tell me all
This at our fishin' hole
I used to carry all his
Tackle and his fishin' pole
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

And if I got bored he said widdle some wood
