Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Hickory
Someday baby, we'll leave this town
For a little house and counrty scene
But right now my love
It's gonna take some time
Saving our nickels
Counting all our dimes
Then hickory glows, 'cause hickory knows
With each song she sings him
A new day she brings him
He says hickory when your singing the blues
This downtown guy feels like uptown new
Something in your voice sounded soothing and clear
Like magic, this old ghetto seems to disappear
There across town, in a brown stone cellar
There's a bit of heaven singin'
Every night a song keeps bringin'
Crowds of people by the score
Hickory's heart must be made of sunshine
Singing songs of sweet salvation
Brings back inspiration
Keeps them coming back for more
They sing hickory, when your singing the blues
This downtown street feels like uptown new
Something in your voice sounded soothing and clear
Like magic this old ghetto seems to disappear
Hickory got a guy she lives for
He drives taxi downtown city
That job of his is dirt and gritty
'Nough to make a big man cry
Countin' his coin till makes a dollar
To pay the rent for where they're sleepin'
She's always at the door to greet him
Sayin' they'll make it by and by
Hickory when your singin' the blues
This downtown guy feels like uptown new
Something in your voice sounded soothing and clear
Like magic this old ghetto seems to disappear
Hickory, hickory, hickorrryyyyy
Hickory, hickory...
