FIGS - Hum Biddy Bye Lyrics

Down in Kanawha County, an old man has died
And you'd think he's a hero, the way they all cried
Sure, he looked like a beggar with holes in his shoes
But in Kanawha County, they all knew his tune, singing
I remember the wars that they carved into stone
Met the children of children of men that I've known
Listen close and I'll tell you the end of it all
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye
Oh, he sang us the stories of castles and kings
And he told us the reason that the mockingbird sings
Oh, he turned down our money and laughed at our praise
And he taught us the song till he went on his way, singing
I remember the wars that they carved into stone
Met the children of children of men that I've known
Listen close and I'll tell you the end of it all
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
I remember the wars that they carved into stone
Met the children of children of men that I've known
Listen close and I'll tell you the end of it all
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye, biddy bye
Hum hum biddy bye, hum biddy bye
