The six children he raised
are all weepin'
For this soft-spoken mountain
man
Who fed them with the money
he earned in those black mines
And the food he could raise
with his hands
(Repeat Chorus)
Thought the world knew nothing
of his wisdom
Or the honest and simple things
he did
There's some folks cryin'
on this hillside today
That know about the humble
way he lived
(Repeat Chorus)
Now this house in the holler
stands empty
Though his presence in my
memory is plain
You know I'd swear that I
just saw him walkin' up that hill
I guess this place just won't
never be the same
(Repeat Chorus)
