Charley Pride - Hickory Hollow Times & Country News lyrics
[Charley Pride - Hickory Hollow Times & Country News lyrics]
I was sitting on the sofa
In my music row apartment
Opening up a letter from my best friend
Silus Blue he included last week's issue of
Our tiny hometown paper
With a note that said he finally
Got his picture in the news
So I started on the front page with
The mayor and the bar chief
Driving big old tractors in
The founder's day parade
And a story about the JC's annual
Bake sale at the bar home
Raising money for the orphans
Selling cookie and
Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too
Who's left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
It's reported Henry Johnson was seen
Courting the widow Jackson
Outside in the moonlight on
The Moose Lodge patio
Sue Walker said she saw him holding
Hands in church on Sunday
Holding hands in church reminds me
Of my old sweetheart, betty Joan
And right there on the next
Page grinning like a parson
My old buddy, Silus
In his tux and cowboy boots
And standing close beside him in
Her bridal gown and diamonds
Betty Joan, my high school sweetheart
The new Mrs blue
Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too
Who left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
And you know it makes me happy
To see 'em happy too
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
