Hard Times In Hickory Hollow Lyrics

The rooster's crowin' at the crack of dawn

Rows of corn are brown the rain is gone

Used to thrive in this ol' valley green

Now it's dust and drought yesterday's dream

The barn's doors creak and the paint's all peeled

Fields once fertile now refuse to yield

Daddy's hands worked these lands so true

Now the soil's tired there's nothin' it can do

Hard times in Hickory Hollow

Dreams fade like the evening shadow

We gave our all but the earth said no

Nowhere left for this old heart to go

Mama's garden's bare the well run dry

Sold the plow to make it by

Memories linger of the crops we've sown

But the bank's cold callous left us all alone

Hard times in Hickory Hollow

Dreams fade like the evening shadow

We gave our all but the earth said no

Nowhere left for this old heart to go

Hard times in Hickory Hollow

Dreams fade like the evening shadow

We gave our all but the earth said no

Nowhere left for this old heart to go
