Well every spring for five long years i've been
Chasin' down the same longbeard
It's get up early and I give him all I got
Got me an old box call and a brand new choke
And, this spring it ain't no joke
Im gonna, fool him good and finally get a shot

Well he gobbled his head off on the roost
I was just about to cook his goose
He was comin' in, then its like he hit a wall

Cause he's hung up, down in the holler
I give up, a couple hundred dollars
If you break that strut and come in on a string
Well he must have found a new girlfriend
And that dang old hen wont let him come in
He's hung up down in the holler again
Oh yeah

Well I, slipped around to the other side
Just to let him think I let him slide
Give him an hour or two to do his thing
About ten o'clock I shot him a call
And he, hammered back and I took off
And I set up on the south side of the spring
Well he couldn't have been more than eighty yards
My old heart was poundin' hard
Then it hit me, I'd screwed up again

Cause he's hung up, down in the holler
I give up, five hundred dollars
If you break that strut and come in on a string
Well you'd think by now I'd have more sense
Then to call a turkey through a barb wire fence
He's hung up down in the holler again
Oh yeah

Well I was, feelin' like a dang old fool
That turkey done took this boy to school
I was, packin' up and headin' back to the truck
But I had one more trick up my sleeve
The one my granddaddy taught me
I knew I was gonna need me a little luck
Pulled out my slate call, made a fightin' purr
All I seen was beard and spurs
He flew the fence and I filled him with number fives

Now he's hung up, down in the holler
I strung up, that old boss gobbler
When he broke that strut and came in on a string
Well he came to fight for his girlfriend
Now he's upside down on the hickory limb
He's hung up down in the holler again
He'll never be hung up in this old holler again

Oh yeah
Never again
