Hindman,
August 1969
(M. Barker)
Dee
Squirt’s in the barber shop, Big Hank is in the chair
Hank is in his uniform and Roy’s cutting his hair
He asks if he’s seen Barry, Frankie tells him he’s a Joe’s
Squirt says he’s looking for him and back out the door he goes
1st
Chorus
Ebbydoo
is sittin’ on the corner shinin’ shoes
Ode Cornett’s walkin’ down the street, he’s got the Frogtown Blues
Doo looks up at Ode and asks him if he needs a shine
Just another day in Hindman, August 1969
Frog
is in the poolroom he’s a reaching for the chalk
He says, “The game is eight ball boys, you gonna play or talk?”
Tuh Tuh says he’ll rack ’em, says he thinks he might be hot
But Willard runs the table before Tuh Tuh gets a shot
2nd
Chorus
Dan
Terry says it’s lunchtime, “Boys let’s head to Little Beat’s
Today she’s having meatloaf and Lord knows that is a treat
Her taters they are heavenly and the gravy is divine”
Just another day in Hindman, August 1969
Later
on that afternoon before the sun goes down
The fact that Tub’s retiring is the new talk of the town
Vesper says Pearl said he’ll stay another year or two
This fall they say George Francis will be making his debut
3rd
Chorus
The
times they are a changin’, Hindman’s bound to do the same
Talk of consolidation, some say it’s a downright shame
Gary Calhoun says, “Boy’s let’s head for the county line”
Just another day in Hindman, August 1969
Another day has come and gone in 1969
