Ohoopee Bound

Ohoopee Bound - She played a six string guitar With a lowdown Georgia flair She played it in a tavern In the sultry Summer air She played it for the locals When they came each Friday night She played it for her lover In the early mornin' light She could play a thousand tunes And she never missed a beat She could play in Winter winds And in the Summer's heat She played guitar at weddings And at divorces too At times she played from boredom When she'd nothin' else to do Then one day she disappeared Some say she went to Macon I found her 'neath a pine tree She seemed a little shaken She said I'm tired of guitars And all those empty faces I need to play a violin In green and empty spaces Well I gave her my old fiddle Said I'm Ohoopee bound Told her she could come along She said I'll stick around Said she might come by one day Just to smell the breeze and play So if you hear a haunting string Just tell her I said "Hey" 2-14-19
