An old cowboy picker blew into the bar last night
Said his name was Wooly, he was more than just half tight
Said he sang with the Texas Playboys back in '34
And the proprietor got up and he locked the door
"Clear the beer from the table, boys, it's well nigh time to close
And we'll all want to hear Mr. Wooly pick and sing"
Then a cat from Alabama got up and played his nose
And my, didn't those old ale house walls ring!
Played an old Hank Williams tune just to warm his hand
Then he recollected some of those days with the Bob Wills band
Then he played a couple of country tunes I don't believe we had heard
Just the same, we all stood and cheered
"Clear the beer from the table, boys, it's well nigh time to close
And we'll all want to hear Mr. Wooly pick and sing"
Then a cat from Alabama got up and played his nose
My, didn't those old ale house walls ring!
Wooly's from Missouri and he farms in Iowa
Drinks a case at night because he drives a case all day
And that whole bar full of longhairs won't mind remembering
The night they heard old Wooly pick and sing
"Clear the beer from the table, boys, it's well nigh time to close
And we'll all want to hear Mr. Wooly pick and sing"
And a cat from Alabama got up and played his nose
My, didn't those old ale house walls ring!
My, didn't those old ale house walls ring!
