Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share
And the 6:09 goes roaring past the creek
Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really going fine for eighty four
Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn
Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen
Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks
The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch
Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch

Earl Eugene Scruggs (1924-2012), noto semplicemente come Earl Scruggs, è stato un leggendario musicista statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti suonatori di banjo di tutti i tempi. Nato in Tennessee, Scruggs ha sviluppato il suo stile unico di bluegrass, caratterizzato da una tecnica di picking chiamata "three-finger style". Questo stile, che utilizza tre dita per pizzicare le corde del banjo, ha rivoluzionato la musica bluegrass e ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti. Scruggs è stato un membro fondatore del gruppo The Stanley Brothers e successivamente ha formato il suo trio, Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys. Il loro successo è culminato con l'album "Foggy Mountain Jamboree" (1968), che include la celebre canzone "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", diventata un classico del bluegrass e utilizzata nel film "Bonnie and Clyde". Scruggs ha vinto numerosi premi Grammy, tra cui il premio alla carriera nel 2000. Oltre al suo lavoro con i Foggy Mountain Boys, Scruggs ha collaborato con artisti di fama mondiale come Johnny Cash, Flatt and Scruggs e Alison Krauss. I suoi brani più rappresentativi includono "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" (tema della serie televisiva "The Beverly Hillbillies") e "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow". Earl Scruggs è considerato un'icona del bluegrass e la sua musica continua ad essere apprezzata da musicisti e appassionati di tutto il mondo.
