The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Roscoe's Rule lyrics

(INTRO) He lives in a valley where a creek runs by him Every single day Nothing's around to tempt or try him Or get in his way Walkin back from the morning sunrise High on top of his hill Looking out over the peace in his valley Is the best feeling that he can feel From the tree tops way down far below He can hear a joyous ringing singing It's in the rafters You can hear it blow La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da 'Standing in the Dark' was his name when I met him Shining by his own golden rule Go where you want son and stay where you have to Everybody's somebody's fool There's a pounding light coming out of the sky And it wants to take us into the air And set us down on a cloud pa**ing by La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da (HARP SOLO) Don't you try to ask him He'll just start to laugh and Never tell you what he really knows Try to sit and listen You'll end up singing with him La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da (GUITAR SOLO) From the tree tops way down far below You can hear a joyous ringing singing It's in the rafters You can hear it blow La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da La, la, la, la, de, dum, da Lyrics are copyright 1976, Michael Granda
