Appalachian Blue |
| No matter where I go or what I do |
| You’re in my heart, Appalachian Blue, another day goes by |
| And they just shut down another Kentucky coal mine |
| A momma cries though her faith is strong |
| It’s hard to hold on for very long still she tries |
| It’s hard to hide her pain and sorrow |
| And she knows there’s hope as long as there’s a tomorrow |
| And the river flows but it can’t wash away her pride |
| Only heaven knows she’ll survive |
| You can hear it echo through the hollows |
| You can see it in the silver mist a-fallin' |
| Here’s to you my Kentucky grandmom that I never knew |
| Appalachian Blue |
| The hills were a-flame where the blue and gray |
| Were laid to rest in graves without names |
| Side by side where they fought and died |
| In such a cost too many sons were lost and a father cries |
| It’s hard to hide his pain and sorrow |
| But he knows there’s hope in the children of tomorrow |
| And the river flows but it can’t wash away |
| Those blood stained years only heaven knows we’ll survive |
| Can you hear it echo through the hollows |
| Can you see it in the silver leaves a-fallin' |
| Here’s to you my Kentucky granddad that I never knew |
| Appalachian Blue |
| Oh, here’s to you, Appalachian Blue |
