Hickory Days
by: Verne Garrison-Valley Park, MO- 04-26-07
Hickory Dnuts is Gwhat Dad called Dthem
Pecans, was the word used in Atown
In the DFall, he would Ggather them Din
The best collector for Amiles a- Dround
In his Gstriped engineers Dhat
And his faded Pay Day over- Aalls
He Dwould slip in and out of Gthat timber like a Dcat
Without any Aeffort at Dall
He Ddecided when the Gtime was Dright
By the color of the hickory Aleaves
He Dpicked what he Gneeded with touch so Dlight
And brought in buckets Aof nuts with Dease
He Dwould crack them at the Gkitchen table at Dnight
Using his knife and little Avise
Looking Dthrough the Gshadows with a coal oil Dlight
Packing the sweet kernels in Abread wraps so Dnice
Oh, the pies and the Gcakes that Mother Dmade
Tasted so good, flavored that a- Away
Thanks to DDad and Ghis hickory Ddays
I can still see him Ahunting Dtoday
Tag: Thanks to Dad and his hGickory dDays
I can still see him Ahunting Dtoday

Hickory nuts is what Dad called them

Pecans, was the word used in town

D G D

In the Fall, he would gather them in

The best collector for miles a- round

G D

In his striped engineers hat

And his faded Pay Day over- alls

D G D

He would slip in and out of that timber like a cat

A D

Without any effort at all

D G D

He decided when the time was right

By the color of the hickory leaves

D G D

He picked what he needed with touch so light

A D

And brought in buckets of nuts with ease

D G D

He would crack them at the kitchen table at night

Using his knife and little vise

D G D

Looking through the shadows with a coal oil light

A D

Packing the sweet kernels in bread wraps so nice

Oh, the pies and the cakes that Mother made

Tasted so good, flavored that a- way
