Nickel Creek - Hayloft Lyrics
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'.
Yeah, it just started in the hayloft.
With his long johns on, Pop went a-creepin'
Out to the barn, out to the hay.
Young lovers and they are not sleeping.
Young lovers in the hayloft.
Out to the barn up to the hay.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
Hayloft
Hayloft
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'.
Yeah, just started in the hay.
With his long johns on, Pop went a-creepin'
Out to the barn, out to the hayloft.
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots.
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots.
With his long tall gun, Pop went a-creepin'.
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.

Nickel Creek Hayloft Comments
Contrary to pretty much every other comment on here, I actually like this better than the original.
Too each their own.
I heard the original before this and this is so much better to be honest. Never saw what was so special about the original and the singer of that one sounded like a whining 6 year old.
I love the stereo effect of this one
The singer is skipping the 'a' in 'My daddy's got gun' entirely..
Holy shit some of these comments are negative. It's a creative take on a great song. The musicianship is great. I'm a huge Mother Mother fan and a fan of Nickel Creek and Chris Thile. I'm just stoked to see that Mother Mother is getting recognition from other great musicians. It's a bummer to see so much of the fanbase be so negative.
Nut and Bolt
Shoot the Jizz and out you is
Shoot your load and hit the road
A couple different names for this song
this could be the worst song I've ever heard these guys perform, what an absolute joke
Personally I prefer the simple manic energy of the original, but this is still a damn good cover. It's always great to hear an artist put its on spin on things while paying respects to the original. Almost everyone I introduce the original to hate it, but this darker rhythmic tone might be more palpable to those people.
Goddamn this is fucking terrible
Ruined an amazing song:(
Animation's good, original song was better.
Didint hate it but the original is just so quirky and different that everything else sounds average
Love this, but in all honesty, it needs to be more bluegrassy. A banjo and another guitar would top it out nicely.
this is pretty eh compared to mother mother lmao
Nice cover.
Not sure what I'm watching here, or frankly what I"m listening to, but very ugly and disappointing. You guys are immaculate, please don't waste it.
I like it but there’s nothing compared to the hard strums in the original
Original will always be better in my opinion
I notice a few nasty old troll type comments here, however, may I suggest that this version is the first version of this song I heard and I love it. It then prompted me to locate the origins of the song and lucky me, I discover Mother Mother. Thank you Nickel Creek, for supporting awesome artists like Mother Mother. Screw the haters who seem to be blind to what you are doing.
Stephen Morris Mother Mother is a bigger band than nickel creek. That’s like a random YouTube doing a cover of a Taylor swift song and saying “omg thanks for supporting Taylor swift she needs the recognition”
WTF?? Where's the mandolin?
no... just no...
Worst Nickel Creek song. Period.
Garrison Kozlowski it’s not their song tho
@solitaire honey by that logic, you might not as well do anything based off something someone else created
I mean, I prefer the original, mostly cause I'm a purist when it comes to music so the original is usually better to me, but its good that they went and covered this song. The style may not be my taste, but like, the music video is pretty rad.
Hey buddy they ran you can't kill them legally run now :)
Interesting version
I want to like it, but the original is a million times better. Maybe even a billion..
I love the country feel to it, really fitting for the theme of the song. A great cover!
Thank you +AlexSierraOfficVEVO !
What the...?
Is that tractor ROCKET-POWERED!??
not bad but nothin compared to the original
OK, guys, I know you all are busy with your other projects, but I really could use another album/tour fix. It's been two years! Who knew that nickel in the water could be so addictive?
To be honest I like the violins!
Is their attempt at pop music? or something different?
+Harvey Hanson It's a cover of Mother Mother
It’s not even their song. They butchered a totally good one by covering it
i love both the original and this version so much. they both have their own unique feel to it.
I don't think Glenn ever took Maggie to the hayloft (or got chased off by Herschel!)! LOL
Love this cover. I like it when NC get all weird and experimental on us with their covers of indie rock songs
Nice cover. Love the original though,
Wait....coolest song I've ever heard
Vince Mcneil not their song. Nickel creek didn’t write it or originally sing it. It’s by Mother Mother
cool story
Damn yes!
I prefer Mother Mother's version better.
I like the old Nickel Creek Better... Video was... Rather Off... And The Song.. To much of a Main Stream touch. Sorry guys. Thumbs down for this track.
Woahhhhh so fresh!!
shit fire I love you guys....
Loving this!
Wow.... That was the weirdest video ever...
Great cover tune from one of my all time favorite bands! Welcome back! :)
Love this song, even though I have no feelings at all about Nickel Creek.
Damn, I really dig the percussion and violin here!!
Heckuva tune.
That was one fast tractor!
Or one slow pickup.
Two great comments 😂😂
A great song, and a great cover of it
heard this song on Nashville's NPR - shared
wonderful song
No words for just how much I love this cover... saw them years ago & they covered Ms. Spears' Toxic~ which was also AHmazing. Wish they'd record that cover too. :)
Utah Tour Date....please!!!!
This was really amazing live. The vocals kinda remind me of Mindless Self Indulgence.
amazing
Finally.. found this track available on YouTube was making my day..!
This was an exceptional video! Very original concept. Love when artists personalize their work.-the hidden names in the corn was a unique idea.
Kacie Hatley They didn't personalise their own work, it's someone else's
This isn’t their work. It’s not their song
I Loved from Brazil :D
Holt shit this is catchy
Mitch Prentice the original is by Mother Mother you should check it out it’s much better
What does the corn say?
the same thing that the fox does ;)
wow that's great!!!! can't wait to see you guy at ACL
that was fun i like it ..!
Got to see them live last week, after seven years of waiting, most amazing night possible.
Great song....very inspiring...cool video too..
Def love the originality. You young'uns experiment as much as you like. <3
Irene Conley it isn’t originality. The song is by Mother Mother
Not a fan of the video (oh well). I would've gone a different direction on this one, but hey. They're the talent.......they can do what they want :) And I love them <3
picaboo2u2
this sounds nothing like nickel creek DX
Amazing video!!!!! So dope!
Lovely.
Love the song. Worst animated video for a song I love ever. Almost as bad as some of the They Might Be Giants ones. Does not fit the tone of the music at all. Animation too slow. The beat is fast and the characters walking in mud.
Great job Steven! I love it. The dad has the coolest expressions. Video kept me interested all 3 minutes.
Awesome!
