J.W. Crowell was a hell of a man  
 
He played two nights a week in a hillbilly band  
 
He played at the Ice House on Telephone Road  
 
He played in the yard just to lighten his load  
 
  
 
Chorus  
 
  
 
Hey J.W play that Frauline  
 
Let Rodney sit in, hell, he’s goin’ on nine  
 
His fingers are bleedin’, but he’s keepin’ good time  
 
Playin’ Black Diamond Strings, he’ll never quit tryin’

You boys pack t up, it’s time to go home  
 
We got church in the mornin’, it’s comin’ up dawn  
 
Don’t make me say it again or I’m gone  
 
You can stay here forever, but you’re gonna walk home
