about

My earliest memories of my great-grandmother were the days I would spend in the tiny orchard in her back yard. She taught me all the basics.

lyrics

Lucille, you caught me in your garden
Tight shoes not fit for my feet.
Still you know
There ain't no use in calling
It's vines as far as I can see.

I climbed the branches of your apple tree
So many times you'd tell me what I'd see
If you sing rock-a-bye baby to me
I'll sing it back for free

It was a long way to Kentucky
Back in '65
Now the roads are just as mean
The cars won't let you drive but the gasoline
Doesn't cost you anything

Lucille, how does your garden grow?
And if I am a liar
Would you tell me so?
Would you bite me back
Would you leave your Bible
To me when you go?

(Chorus)
