Dooley's Farm [Live at the Station Inn]

[Verse 1]

Old Dooley was raised Carolina

Got his schooling out in Vietnam

Tucks his hair up in a pioneer seed cap

When he's bringing his cash crop in

Now everybody said he's just a simpleton farmer

Plowing hundred acres out in Sugar Grove

Smiling at you from an IH tractor

But there's a secret down in every row

[Chorus]

In the Blue Ridge Mountains with the whispering pines

They used to grow tobacco, then they made moonshine

But there's something better in the back of the barn

Down on Dooley's farm

[Verse 2]

Old Dooley's got a roadside farm stand

Sweetcorn, tomatoes, and turnip greens

But if you ask to buy a jug of sorghum

Hе'll know exactly what you mean

He'll meet you in thе back of the woods at midnight

Bring a lantern 'cause it's hard to find

He's got a strain that'll punch your lights out

Old Dooley's gonna blow your mind

[Chorus]

In the Blue Ridge Mountains with the whispering pines

They used to grow tobacco, then they made moonshine

But there's something better in the back of the barn

Down on Dooley's farm

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

You can hide by day, but the night will find you

They caught Dooley in the moonlight

Drug him down from the field to the state farm

To bust rocks on the roadside

Now everybody says I'm just a simpleton farmer

But they don't know that I'm an outlaw

Growing green must've ran in the family

'Cause old Dooley is my grandpa

[Chorus]

In the Blue Ridge Mountains with the whispering pines

Used to grow tobacco, then they made moonshine

But there's something better in the back of the barn

Down on Dooley's farm

In the Blue Ridge Mountains with the whispering pines

They used to grow tobacco, then they made moonshine

But there's something better in the back of the barn

Down on Dooley's farm

Down on Dooley's farm
