Hush old man, you sour old man
Don't start up with the same complaints
Drink it just like the young folks do
I swear you'd rile a trial of saints
Believe I'd like to sleep outdoors
Sleep outdoors in the air tonight
Move my bed where the moon don't shine
Can't fall asleep in the bright moonlight
Hush old man, you sour old man
I'll move your bed and you'll sleep real tight
Moonlight'll be no problem at all;
A little moonshine and you'll sleep all night
Open the door and let me in!
Can't quit shakin' or catch my breath
Timberwolves come south for food
Like they scared me half to death
Hush old man, you sour old man
Swear you'll drive me off the place
Ain't been wolves for fifty years
But a Bluetick Hound just a-lickin' your face
I'm an old man, sure, I'm old and sour
Crosses to bear and I don't know why
Day by day and hour by hour
Too mean to live, too scared to die
Don't start up with the same complaints
Drink it just like the young folks do
I swear you'd rile a trial of saints
Believe I'd like to sleep outdoors
Sleep outdoors in the air tonight
Move my bed where the moon don't shine
Can't fall asleep in the bright moonlight
Hush old man, you sour old man
I'll move your bed and you'll sleep real tight
Moonlight'll be no problem at all;
A little moonshine and you'll sleep all night
Open the door and let me in!
Can't quit shakin' or catch my breath
Timberwolves come south for food
Like they scared me half to death
Hush old man, you sour old man
Swear you'll drive me off the place
Ain't been wolves for fifty years
But a Bluetick Hound just a-lickin' your face
I'm an old man, sure, I'm old and sour
Crosses to bear and I don't know why
Day by day and hour by hour
Too mean to live, too scared to die
