Hoopies Will Gather, original song.

HOOPIES WILL GATHERcopyright chuck picklesimer 2008, original song. This is a true story, names changed. Now hoopies will gather. Hill billys will tell, lies and half truths and a gospel as well. Old stories can linger. Heres one I can try About the night young Dan Martin looked luck in the eye. Lonnie Joe ran for sheriff in a down home county. Gonna clean up the strip, keep mountaineers free. He was gathering votes like whet on a stone To win a decision decidedly. Young Dan was a bouncer at the He Aint Here Where the dancing was fancy, improved by the beer. Saturday night this was the place to be. Young Dan often worked there til half past three. But on that fateful night, Dan had a date with Sue. She met him there at twelve oclock and away the two of them flew, To a night of passion delivering things, sharing fine Champaign and weed. So Dan missed his danger back there at the bar, But the danger had planted a seed. Lonnie Joe and his wife had been resting that evening. Three strangers appeared at their door. In a manner quite rude and language quite crude, Declared they were looking for whores. They included mean details and more. Lonnie Joe stayed that bunch and offered a punch, Or a couple or ten or fifteen. Either tell me who made you do this low down thing Or lay down now in a bloody scene.. Those strangers all cried that feller has lied, that youd find this trick funny. See here, We were put up to this by young Danny Martin, the bouncer at the He Aint Here. He gave us a bunch of free beer. Lonnie Joe grabbed a bat and away he got, to the bar with his blood running high. Gonna hold Dan Martin and hit some homeruns from his knees on up to his eyes. When he got to the bar he was met by the owner, Bad Matty, and his dirty crew. The crew and bad Matty with pistols in hand, led Lonnie from juke joint to bar. We heard what Dan did and honor demands that we help you do what you must do. They searched the whole strip, a wasted damn trip. Dan Martin was long gone and far. But truth has a way to surface some day. True facts became finally known. Bad Matty had paid three strangers to say Dan Martin had acted alone. Mats plan became clear, an election year. New sheriff owed favors to none. Mat created a way with a lie and a pay, to make Lonnie beholding to one. So listen up boys, to my little voice, when youre wondering whats best to do. Go sipping Champaign and party again, with some lady as lucky as Sue. May Lady Luck gather to you.
