Poem
Take that road down yonder, she said Toward the signpost that reads, lickskillet Turn right up thar and then left after that To a highfulootin road that’s paved in black After you see the red store building by the crik Turn to your right and you’ll be at Old Jack’s street From there you go over the mountain a ways And keep moving on through the woods path Once you’ve gone far enough to see the blue ridges Take a turn down the hill that Farmer Joe lives on The one where there is cattle feeding in the fields And a old deadly lookin’ scarecrow in the corn patch Farmer Joe won’t bother you none atall I’m fer sure He’ll be out workin’ in the fields of corn or backer When you see him be sure to wave and let him know You’re a comin’ down from the holler of hardscrabble Past Joe’s farm there is a train track in the distance Go across that and resist the urge to take any pictures Because it won’t be long til’ that old train comes passing And it won’t stop or tarry for one who’s out in it’s track Listen closely now, after you’ve gone by the train tracks Hurry up the hill toward buttersop road and you’ll find A house that’s covered in old moss grown across it’s logs Its there where there lives an old woman who knows me Her name is Molly Jenson and she’s the local spinster She’s never held to courtin’ and proves it with her loneliness If you go to her, she’ll tell you where else to turn around To find the road you’re after, that one called Hillybilly Lane
