(Verse) |
|
Gather round my table |
|
Say grace with me |
|
In my little trailer |
|
In the mountains of Wise county |
|
Grief is mine forever |
|
Sadness my story |
|
Down in Inmate Holler |
|
In the mountains of Wise County |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
|
(Verse) |
|
Mountain drops are made of |
|
Thousand power boulders |
|
That brought down the hills and |
|
On to our shoulders |
|
Lord, let me bare him |
|
For safe keeping |
|
Lord, let me shield him |
|
From the dearest Jeremy |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
|
(Instrumental break) |
|
(Verse) |
|
Momma will rock you |
|
Till you are sleeping |
|
Angels will hold you |
|
In their keeping |
|
I will grow a memory (?) |
|
Make their money (?) |
|
You're name will live here |
|
In the mountains of Wise County |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
|
Bye, baby, baby bye |
|
Little baby bye bye |
