Robbie Fulks - Molly And The Old Man lyrics

Artist: Robbie Fulks

album: Bluegrass Vacation


Cabin in the hollow
Tea kettle on the cook stove
And pickin' on the "Cluck Old Hen"
Molly and the old man
First and only daughter
And when God called her
Mom was twenty-seven
But two can make a good band
How her blue eyes sparkled as his boot-heel marked the time
Fiddle tunes on the banjo
Tell me, what else sounds so fine?
If you gotta go, just make sure you leave a song behind
Southern town, fifteen years old
Football was the main show
But us pickers used to gather
In a cabin in the hollow
His better days behind him
He sat sippin' on the Old Crow
While his darlin' Molly
Played the hell out of the banjo
♪
Same town, a whole new world
Now it's me and her and a blue-eyed girl
And life is like the old songs
It never drops the tempo
Now his cabin's fallen
But the memory's a mansion
And you can't get back a loved one
But you can get the spirit dancin'
Now her blue eyes sparkle as the baby claps in time
Fiddle tunes on the banjo
Tell me, what else sounds so fine?
And if you gotta go, just make sure you leave a song behind
Well, I'm rosinin' up the bow
And it's Molly on the banjo
And we're pickin' on the "Cluck Old Hen"
Molly and this old man
It sounds just like back then
Molly and the old man
♪
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since way last Spring
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
He ain't laid an egg since way last Fall
