lyrics

I’s born and bred in these spurs and hollows
My roots run deep in them hills
Two things I was taught to abide
Is God hisself and whiskey stills
God hisself and whiskey stills

From dusk ‘til dawn they dot the treetops
Like stars spilt from a spoon
Back wood road constellations
To the heart of the Appalachian moon
To the heart of the Appalachian moon

Everyday I’m thankful for the land
On which I provide for my kin
It’s part of the job that I’ve introduced
A thieving soul to a bitter end
A thieving soul to a bitter end

In town there’s a girl I’ve grown quite fond of
Though I know I shouldn’t
Cause I can’t think to leave this mountain
For the hand of a proper woman
For the hand of a proper woman

I’s born and bred in these spurs and hollows
My family plot has some room
There’s a hole dug out waiting for me
‘Neath the light of the Appalachian moon
‘Neath the light of the Appalachian moon
