Hickory Still

Words/Music: Don de Leaumont

Just up the road outside of Chapel Hill.

Three miles up the road, turn left if you will.

A congregation, a celebration

Down 'round the hickory still.

Bring your troubles, bring your cares

All our friends are gathering down there.

Just grab a jar, your troubles will be gone,

down 'round the hickory still.

    Let's drink a toast to yesterday.

    Let it be gone not to come back our way.

    Here's to tomorrow, here's to today.

    We're all here let the music play.

Bring your grandma, bring brother,

bring your dad and bring your mother.

Let's all drink until we get our fill

down 'round the hickory still.

The sun has set, the moon is out.

Let us dance, let us sing and shout.

Grab a partner and dance if you will,

down 'round the hickory still.

    Let's drink a toast to yesterday.

    Let it be gone not to come back our way.

    Here's to tomorrow, here's to today.

    We're all here let the music play.

Goodnight my friends, it's time to go.

Thanks for being here for me but I know.

Just where to go when my soul needs a thrill,

down by the hickory still.
