Hop in my Valiant, hit Hwy 1
Head on down to Hacklebarney, have me some fun
Up over that hill, here's what I'll do
set there and play this old music with you
You are my grandpa, I'm your grandson
50 years between us, feels more like one
We're old as the hills and yound as the dew
when I set there and play this old music with you
Goin' down yonder. Here rattler here
when you and I were young Maggie preacher and the bear
and that one we can't remember that we always do
when I set there and play this old music with you
And when we've departed this music will ring
It's part of the red dust, part of everything
something of us I know will be here
WHere music is ringing, heaven is near
Jeeminy Criminy, where does life go?
Somewhere down in the holler I know
where you threw your old boot
where the whip-poor-will flew
where I set there and play this old music with you--hoo--hoo
