This song is now available at YouTube. Here is my transcription. Note there is still a gap where I found it unintelligible:


MY OLD STOMPING GROUND
Jimmy Work, 1956

1. The old cedar tree, Dad cut it down.
Things look differ'nt somehow.
The old barn is leanin' strong but still it's hangin' on.
Still it's my old stompin' ground.

CHORUS: It's a little place in the road, but it's a big place in my heart,
Where memories never let me down.
Ev'ry time I get homesick, I go back for a while.
Still it's my old stompin' ground.

2. Where I used to go to school stands a field of open view.
The old hick'ry tree, it's still around.
My mother's smile is still the same. ... in the spring.
Still it's my old stompin' ground. CHORUS
