He left home with his guitar on his back and made it through 49 states before he was 19. After landing on the west coast, he co-founded a ragtime jug band, The Kitchen Syncopators, which sold thousands of their self-released recordings. The Syncopators performed everywhere from the streets of New Orleans to Seattle’s Folklife Festival to the Oregon Country Fair. After several years of living and playing in New Orleans, Woody headed for the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, playing old time music for dances, busking for tourists, and releasing his first solo cd, ‘Rags to Riches.’ Woody played shows all over the south, including a stop in Nashville for a guest appearance at the Grand Ole Opry with friends Old Crow Medicine Show. Today, Woody continues to find ways to reshape the old music, weaving new stories from timeless threads. He combines freak realism and vaudeville showmanship with the sincerity and grace of the rich, traditional landscape of roots music. Woody plays with foot stomping gusto, but knows when to croon a lazy mountain ballad.

The Lonesome Two is Tim Peacock on upright bass and Bram Riddlebarger on his stripped-down suitcase drum kit. The full band sound is featured on Woody’s newest release.

Satisfied
Woody Pines Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to live in the country by the high lonesome hill.
Crow by day
by the night the whippoorwill

I used to live in the country
by the high lonesome hill.
Crow by day
by the night the whippoorwill

Cause I'm satisfied
Tickled too
Just to be with you

Said the little red hen to the little red rooster
You don't come around the chicken shack like you used to

Said the little red hen to the little red rooster
You don't come around the chicken shack like you used to

Why is that, buddy?

Cause I'm satisfied
Tickled too
Just to be with you

Said you're my baby you're the one
You can throw your arms around me
Like a circle round the sun

Said you're my baby you're the one
You can throw your arms around me
Circle round the sun

Cause I'm satisfied
Tickled too
Just to be with you

I'm going downtown with my hat caved in
Said I'm coming back home
Pocket full of tin

I'm going downtown with my hat caved in
Said I'm coming back home
Pocket full of tin

Least I hope so

Cause I'm satisfied
Tickled too
Just to be with you

I used to live in the country by the high lonesome hill.
Crow by day
by the night the whippoorwill

I used to live in the country by the high lonesome hill.
Crow by day
by the night the whippoorwill

Cause I'm satisfied

Tickled too
Just to be with you
