I was on some acid in Arcata California, being the rambler I am when I heard this song and it brought me straight back to my home in Hickory North Carolina.
I did some one time just made me talk gibberish till I collapsed and seized out best high of my life so far let’s not forget the feeling of total euphoria and hallucinations of a fire storm in the middle of the ocean on a carnival
Hickory NC is 50 miles down the road from Charlotte NC , but Old Hickory is now part of Nashville Tennessee, it was separate when DuPont owned our little village ! It was a great little town to live in as a kid ! It was named after Andrew Jackson , old hickory was his nickname !

Virgil Lee was a mighty man He could outrun the L&N Caught a wild cat and made him his friend He was a flat woods boy Caught his learnin' from a runnin' brook Taught him go with the flow and don't get hooked But Virgil Lee kindly mistook The devil for a dear friend You can fool all the jokers with diamonds You can playboy ramblin' roots You can lie like a penny on the CNO line But the good Lord knows the truth Just like a old hickory Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory It was Gainsboro at the Glow Worm Bar We were passin' around a jug and a guitar Virgil picked it like an Opry star I mean the boy was on fire I said, "Hey Virgil Lee, where'd you get that stuff?" He said, "I don't know, I guess I made it up?" Well sometimes an empty cup Just overflows And all that summer was fire and rain Virgil Lee started nursin' the pain 'Til every one of them songs he would play Was twisted, falling down Like a old hickory Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory Laid him out in his overalls 'Cause when you get too big for your breeches well that's all Hung his fiddle and his flat top guitar Up in the high school gym Nobody remembers his name And I can't say anyone's to blame One of these times you gotta hear him play He was the greatest that's ever been You can fool all the jokers with diamonds You can playboy ramblin' roots You can lie like a penny on the CNO line But the good Lord knows the truth Just like a old hickory Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut Old hickory Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory Oh and that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory
Nashville. The album is a reference to to Volunteer State (Tn). Old Hickory is a direct reference to Andrew Jackson (Old Hickory) our 7th president and resident of Nashville till the day he died.
I used to hear this song and think of my 🐓 but this song is such a joy to dissect. How bitter! How bitter! So gifted, but in the end nobody remembers him. Who's to say it'd matter if they did remember him? Memories of a person are just ideas of who they were to you. I understand why the firm foundation in Christ is so important now. Without Him I'd lose the concept of meaning.

"Remedy" was a great album, different than their first 3 albums but still great. I agree that "Tennessee Pusher" and "Carry Me Back" were mediocre. This album has 3 great songs: Flicker & Shine, Son of the Mississippi, and Dixie Ave. The rest of the album sucks.

Virgil Lee was a mighty man
He could outrun the L&N
Caught a wild cat and made him his friend
He was a flat woods boy
Caught his learnin' from a runnin' brook
Taught him go with the flow and don't get hooked
But Virgil Lee kindly mistook
The devil for a dear friend
You can fool all the jokers with diamonds
You can playboy ramblin' roots
You can lie like a penny on the CNO line
But the good Lord knows the truth
Just like a old hickory
Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down
There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory
And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory
It was Gainsboro at the Glow Worm Bar
We were passin' around a jug and a guitar
Virgil picked it like an Opry star
I mean the boy was on fire
I said, "Hey Virgil Lee, where'd you get that stuff?"
He said, "I don't know, I guess I made it up?"
Well sometimes an empty cup
Just overflows
And all that summer was fire and rain
Virgil Lee started nursin' the pain
'Til every one of them songs he would play
Was twisted, falling down
Like a old hickory
Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down
There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory
And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory
Laid him out in his overalls
'Cause when you get too big for your breeches well that's all
Hung his fiddle and his flat top guitar
Up in the high school gym
Nobody remembers his name
And I can't say anyone's to blame
One of these times you gotta hear him play
He was the greatest that's ever been
You can fool all the jokers with diamonds
You can playboy ramblin' roots
You can lie like a penny on the CNO line
But the good Lord knows the truth
Just like a old hickory
Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down
There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory
And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut
Old hickory
Shadin' the porch of a house that's been torn down
There ain't nothin' that's left but the memory
And that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory
Oh and that long, tall, scraggily, bitter nut old hickory

Phenomenal
What is the L&N ?
Thank you for posting the lyrics! Much appreciated 🙏🏼
I always think of Levon Helm when I hear this song.
The best RIP
I think Andrew Jackson
Yes sir
Striking resemblance indeed..
It's got that grass but also that mountain funk that The Band always carried.
I miss him and Warren zevon
Awesome song. Reminds me of The Band.
Hey Virgil, come and see, there goes Robert E Lee
'The Night they Drove Ol Dixie Down'.
JESUS IS KING AND HE LOVES YOU
Jesus=eternal life
The song to play when cruising down country roads windows down heading to a camp fire.
Yessir
all day! 🚛
I haven't heard old crow in a minute... this brings me back to when I was obsessed! Killer track
I love this one. I sing it to my kids at night.
Do it extra special for us out here that can't...
Damn I love this song! 👍👍
can't believe this isn't in the top ten yet...
It’s a mystery to me how people have never heard this band or any of their music.
They played at the kettlehouse amphitheatre in Missoula Montana a couple weeks ago.
I think that's part of the reason they're so damn good. So many times a good band gets famous then goes to crap.
no mystery to me. The nation destroyers own all the record labels and big radio stations.
@@user-nr6so4yz7r muhammad was a murdering pedophile. He's burning in Hell and you will soon follow him into that fiery pit.
Makes me reminisce of The Band
This song touches my soul
Finally. Heard it on a Dallas radio station and that’s the only place you could hear it. I’m going to buy this bad boy!
Nathan Henfling I know I’m guna be sittin out bush round the fire on the bank of the river listening to this song aye
Nathan Henfling we just heard them perform this song at the Opry last saturday ❤
Nashville. The album is a reference to to Volunteer State (Tn). Old Hickory is a direct reference to Andrew Jackson (Old Hickory) our 7th president and resident of Nashville till the day he died.
Its played in alabama so not true bud
Not hearing this on the radio, but should be...
Heard this on the radio a few weeks back, been waiting for it to come out. Killer song.
Good music, love the banjo.
Bitternut Tennessee...
I wish more of this was played in California
There is if ya know where to go. 👍🏼
Starting a new railroad job on a lumber line in Louisiana heard this on my way there

That was a perfect song 🎈
Can't help but love this band especially since I'm from Roanoke just about the time we had a nice long t__e
Lie like a penny on the C&N line. I love that and use that term now.

Come back to Melbourne Australia.
LOVE YOU GUYS BIG HEAPS

@@user-nr6so4yz7r Why you even here ?
Very good song.
I heard this song for the first time today and,damn they made a song about me. My full name is Virgil Lee Browning, same as my Dad
Heard this on the creek about 6 months ago, disappointed no one told me about this band earlier!
Ironic I hear this song sitting under an old hickory just limited out on squirrels and was cruzin ocms songs and found it
Definitely love the music Sir.
Wow that's odd luck. These just come out when I'm looking for them :)
Großartig
I can hear willie on this now!!
Good job boys. Made my day !
Great music
I like these slower ones
We were passing around a jug and a guitar
Lew Wetzel

Good stuff !

Mount the ?
Where is the lead singer we all love ?
Dude I’m running to the east
I think of Andrew Jackson that was his nickname
@@user-nr6so4yz7r I ask for God's forgiveness everytime I sin. 🙏 we are all human first before our religion.
Yee Ha
the album itself is probably their worst (Still the best album that came out last year), but this song is incredible.
adam vavlitis agree
Ya I miss willie!! but still an awesome album pretty sure there is no such thing as a bad Old Crow album !!
Strongly disagree.

couple good songs on this record but everything after "big iron world" has been pretty mediocre
Since Willie Watson left they haven't been nearly as good.
@david yeah willie was the defining member.
"Remedy" was a great album, different than their first 3 albums but still great. I agree that "Tennessee Pusher" and "Carry Me Back" were mediocre. This album has 3 great songs: Flicker & Shine, Son of the Mississippi, and Dixie Ave. The rest of the album sucks.
I think remedy was good but this one is definitely mediocre
Hmm Carry Me Back is one of my favorites. To each their own I guess.
