Hiss Golden Messenger - Southern Grammar (Live At WXPN) Lyrics
One day I tried to kneel
I tried to kneel but I could not
They said, "Go ye to the holy house"
And I took the long way around
Teacher, come teach me
"Hey, buddy boy, who's asking?
I've been looking for the same thing"
Chickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way home
Southern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little while
See is there work for me?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the crippled green country
Teacher, come teach me
Preacher, come reach me
There's another way to be happy
And I've been looking for the same thing
See is there life for me?
Is there a wife and a baby?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the unfamiliar country
Southern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little while
Chickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way home
Southern grammar
Father and child
Let's just be simple for a little while

This absolutely rocks. Phil is having a blast. MC confident as ever. Different feel than the LP version.
Phil Cook, Scott Hirsch, Matt McCaughan, Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig...what a band Mike had for this performance!
Welcome to my world,great
WowWowWow! Heard them on WUGA broadcast last night, they're playing in Athens, GA this week, and now I see this and remember seeing this show on Letterman.....love it!
AWESOMENESS !!!
awesome looking forward to seeing you in rocky mount .
Kinda neat to see MC so awkward around Letterman. Dave seemed very enthusiastic about the band's performance but MC looked almost embarrassed to be there.
He seems a very humble man. Perhaps it was a strange experience for him playing on a major late night show, if you think he recorded his first album at his kitchen table after his kids had gone to sleep!
Dave really liked them.
is that amelia meath on back-up vocals ??
Michael Hessemer I just saw that too, Silvan Esso represent!
That's 2/3rds of Mountain Man on backing vocals
absolutely killer. little feat-like. Cant wait to see them world cafe live!
