Lyrics:
old white oak tree
Layin' shade on me
Pickin' blackberries off the vine
A Bobwhite whistling out through the pines
I can't wait to walk those streets
stream flowin'
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill
Up On Sugar Hill with the bobwhite's callin'
Black crows cawkin', and the soft wind blows
Up
a covey he can run them fields
I’d pawn my fiddle for to go his bail
Cause we like the chase of that Holy Grail
Yeah, we like the taste of that bobwhite
inhuman?
Why be like me?
Like so many robins
Like so many doves
Like so many lovebirds
With so many loves
Like the songs of the bobwhite
Without
When I was young I remember well I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail
The river was clear and deep back then and fishin' lines tied
evenin' breeze
When was the last time
That you heard a Bobwhite song
When was the last time
I'll bet it's been too long
Back in the country
Now I
Another lonesome morning
You thought you didn't care
But morning breezes find you
Wishing he were there
Bobwhite sings his same old song
Trying hard
Bay?
Have you heard a bobwhite calling
In the Carolina pines
Or heard the bellow of a
Diesel at the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you
boy
When I was young I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin' lines tied
the evening.
Naked boys throwing stones
Beady eyes and desert bones
They saw you leaving.
God gave you bobwhites
And the good kind of black night
When you left
rattlesnakes
Pack rats, ranch cats
Prairie dogs, gray-diggers
Field mice, porcupines
And
China pheasants, bobwhites
Goldfinches, turtledoves
Meadowlarks,
Red shed short bed chevy
Bobwhite and a dogwood tree
Back pew pine to pine wood stools
Where the River and your roots run deep
Carpet mill can't
fight oh
You mad I use my money right
Jealous of what I drive right
Mad that this is water and not sprite!
Still not eating bobwhite quail
Why are you
another time
The Shawnee roamed these mountain sides
You'd see the beaver swim and bobwhite fly
On back in another time
You could hear angels singing in
Unattainable
Just a couple of
In-decline Bobwhite quail
Myopically
Pulling feathers from our tails.
Ungracefully
I'm fighting to keep the world from
Feeling so
found you in Nevada desert queen for sale
You told me the Picasso you ordered bob-white quail
The flood in Louisiana turned our roads to mud
So you ran
thought you didn't care
But morning breezes find you
Wishing he were there
Bobwhite sings his same old song
Trying hard to please
And you hear
at night
Wake up and sing la, la, la, la, la,
Be a bob-white
Pucker up and whistle and you'll find that this'll
Make you whistle comin' home at night
