(Verse 1)
A
Well everything spring for five long years
I've been chasing down the same long beard
                                       D
It's a get up early and give him all I got
A
Got me an old box call and brand new choke
And this year it aint no joke
                                           D
I?m gonna fool him good and finally get a shot
         G
Well he gobbled his head off on the roost
I was just about to cook his goose
                                        A
He was coming in and its like he hit a wall

(Chorus 1)
         D
Now he's hung up
Down in the holler
     C
I'd give up 
A couple hundred dollars
         G
If he'd break that strut
     F     C    D
And come in on string
Well he must've found a new girlfriend
          C
And that danged ol' hen wont let him come in
     G
Hes hung up
F        C         D
Down in a holler again


(Verse 2)
Well I slipped around to the other side
Just to let him think I let him slide
And give him an hour or two to do his thing
About 10 o'clock I shot him a call
And he hammered back and I took off
And I sat up on the southside of the spring
Well he couldn't have been more than eighty yards
My old heart was pounding hard
Then it hit me
I'd screwed up again

(Chorus 2)
Cause he's hung up
Down in the holler
I'd give up 
Five hundred dollars
If he'd break that strut
And come in on string
Well you'd think by now I'd have more sense 
Than to call a turkey through a barbwire fence
Hes hung up
Down in a holler again

(Verse 3)
Well I was feelin like a damned ol' fool
That turkey done took this boy to school
I was packing up and headed back to the truck
But I had me one more trick up my sleeve 
The one my grand pappy taught me
I knew I was gonna need me a little luck
Pulled out my slate call made me a fightin purr
I all I seen was beard and spurs
He flew the fence and I filled him with number fives

(Chorus 3)
Cause he's hung up
Down in the holler
I'd spend up
Every last dollar 
To break that strut and come in on string
Well he came to fight for his girlfriend
Now he's upside down on a hickory limb 
He's hung up 
Down in a holler again
Last time he'll be hung up 
Down in a holler again
