I was looking thro' a book of old quotations.
And came across the subject of romance.
When the poets and the sages wrote the wisdom of the ages.
They gave the lover only half a chance.
For ev'ry bit of pleasure there'll be pain.
If you feel that's no bargain, then abstain.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb. When love is passing by.
Then you won't know the sadness in a sigh.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb when spring is in the air.
Then you won't be a victim of despair.
You can laugh at sweethearts who sorrow and swoon.
They're so romantic, they trusted the moon.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb, unless you feel like me.
That love is worth the trouble it can be.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb. When love is passing by.
Then you won't know the sadness in a sigh.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb when spring is in the air.
Then you won't be a victim of despair.
You can laugh at sweethearts who sorrow and swoon.
They're so romantic, they trusted the moon.
Hang your heart on a hickory limb, unless you feel like me.
That love is worth the trouble it can be.
