Ray Cardwell Cedar Creek Pickaway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young, I could hardly wait - for the weekend to come around
On a Saturday - there was only one place - that we could all be found
Sittin' on a hollow log - on the banks of Cedar Creek
We'd watch in wonder, as an old man pulled out his fiddle and made it speak

[Bridge]
He took us to far-off places, told us tales from across the sea
Learned about love and heartache, followin' a young man's dream

[Chorus]
We'd pick away, We'd sing all day, Wish'd we could stay Cedar Creek pickaway

[Verse 2]
He taught us every song he knew, and we tried to get it right
We'd practice all the harmonies, sometimes it took all night
And now that I am older, I know I've been given a special gift
Well he is long gone, but the memory lives on - of old MAC and Cedar Creek

[Chorus]
We'd pick away, We'd sing all day, Wish'd we could stay
Cedar Creek pickaway
