Lyrics:
with diamonds
You can playboy ramblin' roots
You can lie like a penny on the CNO line
But the good Lord knows the truth
Just like a old hickory
with a bullet in his gun."
Old Hickory said he didn't give a damn
He's a-gonna whup the britches off of Colonel Packenham.
Well, we looked down the river
stood among us all in his grief
His towered form eclipsing all but me
My bark and bite and all that I've seen
Will lead me back to you, Old Hickory
His
to be sent to an early grave
Histories can change
Histories can change
And like the mighty Mississippi
Or even Old Hickory
We will rise although we're
to New Orleans the battle of 1812
With old Hickory at the throttle she drove the British out
The freedom train's a fine train the toppest of the world it
to New Orleans the battle of 1812
With old Hickory at the throttle she drove the British out
The freedom train's a fine train the toppest of world it
to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em
to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em
a thing.
Old hickory said we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn¹t fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we seen
till that old hickory wind
Called him home
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
and didn?t say a thing.
Old hickory said we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire
been a hundred
Of'em beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they
Made the bugles ring
We stood by our cotton bales
And didn't say a thing
Old
town
You remember all those tranquilizers that I used to take
Well I'm not on those anymore, I'm on old hickory lake
So when you start cryin' here's
on Old Hickory Lake
Talking all night and sleepin' in late
Looking at the stars like we used to do
Honey you don't know how I've missed you
Save me
For so
don't ever let it fade away
Tell me (tell me, tell me) that you love me
Do you love me?
We could camp out on Old Hickory Lake
Talkin' all night
to New Orleans the battle of 1812
With old Hickory at the throttle she drove the British out
The freedom train's a fine train the toppest of the world it
you see
Don't make a movie 'bout me even for TV
Don't make a movie 'bout me
Don't let 'em drag old Hickory Lake
For my telephones and bottles
And roller
began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we
ago
We fired once more and they all began a-runnin'
Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico
Now, old hickory says we can take 'em by surprise
'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico **
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in
'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could
Take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til
We looked 'em in
runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets
'Til we looked 'em in
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
(One-hut, two-three-four)
If we didn't fire our muskets
a thing
We fired our gun...
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till
