Gone, Gonna Rise Again |
I remember the year that my granddad died |
Gone, gonna rise again |
They dug his grave on the mountainside |
Gone, gonna rise again |
I was too young to understand |
The way he felt about the land |
But I could read his history in his hands |
Gone, gonna rise again |
Corn in the crib and apples in the bin |
Ham in the smokehouse and cotton in the gin |
Cows in the barn and hogs in the lot |
You know, he never had a lot |
But he worked like a devil for the living he got |
These apple trees on the mountainside |
He planted the seeds just before he died |
I guess he knew that he’d never see |
The red fruit hanging from the tree |
But he planted the seeds for his children and me |
High on the ridge above the farm |
I think of my people that have gone on |
Like a tree that grows in the mountain ground |
The storms of life have cut them down |
But the new wood springs from the roots in the ground |
Gone, gonna rise again |
Gone, gonna rise again |
Gone, gonna rise again |
