Boards from the Old Barn (original folk/bluegrass)

the old barn stood since '33
held a whole lotta hay and history
the roof gave in so we're taking it down
been gettin' calls from all over town
for some boards from the old barn
boards from the old barn

brother's gonna make a shotgun case
mama wants a mantel made for the fireplace
they all died out before the war
you can't get that good chestnut no more
get some boards from the old barn
boards from the old barn

that wormy old chestnut looks so good
everybody wants to get some of that wood

preacher wants some wood for the deacon's pew
seemed like the christian thing to do
grandma said be sure and save
enough to set a bench out by granddaddy's grave
get some boards from the old barn
boards from the old barn

that wormy old chestnut looks so good
everybody wants to get some of that wood

I like it. Good down home song, and playing
Steve

I also like it. I enjoy down-home songs. I just wish that someone had wanted barn wood to make some type of musical instrument.

Great great song I can picture elly Mae and jethro square dancin in the background and granny playin the jug and Jed on the washboard

Well done! I like the sound of that uke!
