Lyrics Intro to Olie From Muskogee

Intro to Olie From Muskogee
They's some of you in the audience that may or may not know I wasn't
actually born here in Muskogee but my family on my mother's side lived
here for many years
And I think most all of my dad's folks were born in between here and
Checotah somewhere and around Brush Hill you know where Brush Hill or
Kneebow Mountain or somewhere over
And I've heard 'em talk so many times about it that when I finally began to
tour on the road. We made a special plan to come through here and kinda
look around and see where they used to live and Muskogee was a word
and town that I've heard about ever since I was knee high
And the fact that Oklahoma for some reason or another has been able to
keep out of the conflict and the college campuses haven't had any trouble
that I know of they haven't been in news anyway and as far as I know just
about hippy free I haven't seen any hippies around here either
Except of course except for Carlton I mean he
Course Carlton's a country hippy now we can allow that see
Carlton's just short of money that's the only thing wrong with him
He's broke see he had too many Merle Haggard shows
No seriously these things and the fact that like I say I was very familar
with Muskogee
The ideas came together and we wrote a song called Okie From Muskogee
Goes like
One two three four...
