Langhorne Slim - Sweet Olive Tree Lyrics
There's a story I heard told
Comes from the banks where the odd sailboat goes
Now I don't know if its true but I say so
Surely in it you will recognize somebody that you know
She could be sweet but my friend she could be mean
Really with her there was very little in between
She kissed gentlemen's lips beneath the sweet olive trees
They never knew their woman
She never knew her man
I wanna know my woman
Want her to know her man
Well if you know you too many people
Your hearts bound to go bad
One dude she knew got sick with hurt
He overheard his baby's filth and dirt
So he hid a 22 beneath his shirt
Then went to pay a her a visit at the place in which she worked
Well if you find someone you love a lot
Id recommend you give it everything you got
Either way you'll be sittin' pissin' in a pot
But at least it will be with someone you love and you trust
Nobody knows their woman
Nobody knows their man
I'd die to know my woman
Kill for her to know her man
Just want to take it beyond the initial shaking
Of my own sweaty nervous hand
Or else I might be bad

Langhorne Slim Sweet Olive Tree Comments
beautiful!
does anyone know what guitar did he play?
gabriele napoli no but it seems really small lol
What a wonderful voice and song ... so touching
for to why are we bad it's only because we are human
Sean we want ALL the Engine songs live sooo bad it's what made me realize you were a Syd fan
A true song that has that shiver quality.
+Michael Myles Slim has MANY like that once you dive in, his stuff from Slim Pickens and Electric LLetter/When the suns gone down... he sings his stories.. He's only getting better which amazes me. Add in he's about the most down to earth artist who doesn't HAVE to be.. pass the love of Seanboy down to your kids.. he's a great role model :) Though he will NOT play this or a few others no matter how many times I ask haha!
3 people pushed the wrong button.
That's one seatless car engine I can hear turning over
I met him at his show in old town Lansing. Mi it was the sweetest thing ever love his music and a super nice guy.
He played this last night for us in Charlotte, per my and my sister's request. I love him so much! A great guy with great songs. :)
my, my. he's the real deal, always.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!22? u know
Fantastic. Saw u on Conan O'Brien. Love ur energy & style.
J'adore! <3
he's got something...
Love his light touch on the guitar. And love the bird songs in the background.
@omagine Sorry about that. Head over to Crackerfarm's channel and check out his latest Langhorne Slim upload.
@hopulikit22 hmm... that link doesn't go anywhere. Something's missing from it 0_0

As always Langhorne Slim is fantastic! Thank you.
Awesome as usual.
@omagine Great music, indeed. I might not have discovered Langhorne Slim without Crackerfarm, and I'm certainly glad I did.
@herbalchicken there are only 4 of the 9 rows of stars visible on the left, meaning there are 5 more rows above them OR below them. With the little sign in the bottom left window, you can't tell tell whether that space is filled with union or stripes, so really either of us could be right. GREAT MUSIC TOO. ;)
@omagine It looks upside-down because you can see the stripes in the top right window are higher than where the union (blue part) of the flag would normally extend. I'm thinking he may have done it so that you could see the blue part of the flag and not leave a blank space at the top. Anyway, just something I noticed.
beautiful
thanks....i love these performances....in the middle of someplace somewhere
Reminds me of the time we strapped a seat from a van on the back of a fourwheeler and rode around for a while.
@herbalchicken who sez it's upside down? looks upside right to me. But i wouldn't blame anyone for feeling our country was in crisis enough to put their flag upside-down
Nashville AND Langhorne? This made my heart happy.... Thank you ♥
What's up with the upside-down flag in the door?
one of my favorite slim songs. i wish seth was singin along in that chair to the side.
thanks, boys
