Standard (EADGBE)
I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
(with a hammer-on on string)
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This old man don't run no more
Chorus
Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
And the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
Like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin
