Old Time Country Halls (with Joy McKean) |
| As I pick up my guitar to sing another song |
| I hear the walls of this old hall — you’ve done this thing too long |
| You know you’ve been around for years, I guess you’ve shown us all |
| I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall |
| I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar |
| The Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dandy was the star |
| He taught me lots about the game, today I understand |
| He was a great magician, Dandy was a fine old man |
| I’m a howlin' cattle-hand crooner |
| I’m an old time dinosaur |
| Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring |
| In an old time country hall, that’s right |
| I’ve been on the road for thirty years but Dandy could double that |
| And you’ll find his faded poster still in some hall way out back |
| I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall |
| The shows I’ve had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls |
| Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie with it’s old time charm and grace |
| And your mounting million complexes never will replace |
| All glass and steal and concrete, some large and some too small |
| So let me sing where the rafters ring in an old time country hall, hey |
| We showed last night in the school of arts and the town was real run-down |
| You’ll find so many towns like that today as you move around |
| Yeah, the wind of change is blowin' up such an economic low |
| The old time shows we used to know will soon be off the road |
| I’m a howlin' cattle-hand crooner |
| I’m an old time dinosaur |
| Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring |
| In an old time country hall |
| In an old time country hall |
| In an old time country hall |
