His eyes are fixated on one spot in the audience throughout the entire song. Lady May must of been in attendance that night.

[amyd]

"I've seen my share of trouble and I've held my weight in shame."
I've heard it put a lot of ways, but, man, that's powerful stuff right there.

[martinturek]

I'm a stone's throw from the mill
And I'm a good walk to the river
When my workin' day is over
We'll go swim our cares away
Put your toes down in the water
And a smile across your face
And tell me that you love me
Lovely, Lady May
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
That your hands have ever held
But, darlin', I could love you well
Til' the roll is called on high
I've seen my share of trouble
And I've held my weight in shame
But I'm baptized in your name
Lovely, Lady May
Lord, the wind can leave you shiverin'
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
It's been rushin' through my timber
Til' your love brought on the spring
Now the mountains all are blushin'
And they don't know what to say
'Cept a good long line of praises
For my lovely, Lady May
Now, I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever felt
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same
I came crashin' through the forest
As you cut my roots away
And I fell a good long ways
For my lovely, Lady May

I liked this version of Tyler the best. Glad he is healthier nowadays, but miss the solo gigs! ✌️

[brianstephenson]

this song brings me to tears every single time i hear it. so beautiful.

[thinkrichlevi]

Damn this song broke me down in tears the first listen……………WOOOW

[jdg]

Anyone else out there old enough to have seen a twenty-something Billy Bragg on stage with just a guitar and a microphone? Wordsmiths both, and a similar originality of voice. Nearly 40 years apart...but worth the wait.

[sisser]

I think the song was written for his wife Senora May. ❤ beautiful song.

[patstevens]

This is as true a love song as crazy love by Van Morrison. Glad Tyler could open himself in a way that we get to enjoy such a beautiful song

I found this man on the SongPop game, of all places. I can't remember if it was "Feathered Indians" or "Whitehouse Road", but I have since bought all his CDs and will be going to hear him with Sturgill Simpson when they come this way on tour. I have not been this amped about a concert since I saw Italian Bluesman, Zucchero, in March 2017. Tyler is just so pure of voice and music ❤

[jmumz]

He did the lick to Wildwood Flower at the end 🔥

[mattramsted]

His wife is Sedona May.. I believe.. beautiful song.. he is a master song writer no doubt

[davidthomas]

I wonder what Lady Mays face looks like right now. I know shes in that audience! ❤🎸🎶🎻

[kansasallenace]

I'm definitely a non confrontational man, but definitely I not a guy that would back down from protecting my wife or my family. Such a BEAUTIFUL SONG.
#HICKORY

Mr May was real knight in white satin! Love Georgia lynn

[okd]

Never heard this man before in my life, it just came up on my song list, it's purtty. I subscribed so I can hear more cuz I do like this style 🙂

[kberry]

Am I wrong or is that a few licks of Wildwood Flower at 2:55??

[kentwg]

Can anyone tell me what song the part at 2:54 to 2:58 is taken from? It is familiar to me but I can't seem to come up with the name of the song.

[McKeelVideo]

One thumbs down. May God have mercy on their tasteless soul.
