Chorus: F, slide up to G repeat

Feeding the chickens
Thinking like the dickens
All about blueberry wine
Bare foot and all
In my cover-alls
Picking pole beans from the vine

Smiling at the deer
Wishing all year
I’d seen ‘em outside of the fence
Promised her I wouldn’t
Shoot ‘em with a bullet
And an arrow’d make her kinda tense

But I been lookin’ for this day from a long way
Lookin’ for this day now it’s here
So you better climb on

Rumrunner’s his name
But I’d hate to blame
The horse for this awful mess
The flies are buzzin’
I’m about to start cussin’
The plow went through a horntet’s nest

Well if I close my eyes
I can fantasize
The kids are all a bubblin’ laugh
Turn my ears on
I can hear their song
Like birds singing in the bath

And I been lookin’ for this day from a long way
Lookin’ for this day now it’s here
So you better climb on

Well back to feedin’ chickens
And thinkin’ like the dickens
All about my blueberry wine
Livin’ in the woods
Just the way I should
With this little love of mine
I been kinda thinkin’ maybe
It’s time to get that baby
Off of her mother’s breast
We can light a fire
Build it kinda higher
And then we’ll give that wine a test

And I been lookin’ for this day from a long way
Lookin’ for this day now it’s here
Lookin’ for this day from a long way
Lookin’ for this day now it’s here
So you better climb on
It’s the Nancy Song
