"Kinfolks Holler" lyrics

Kinfolks Holler

Paw and Maw, Uncle Bill and Aunt Lil
Were the first to settle this holler
They built them a house
With the help of the Lord
Cause they didn't have the almighty dollar

Then old mother nature
She had her way
And they were blessed
With sons and daughters
And as time went on nobody moved off
And it became Kinfolks Holler

Way down here in Kinfolks Holler
Everybody is a kissing cousin
Where the code of the hills
Ain't kill or be killed
Cause there ain't no feuding or fussing

We're all for one and one for all
And we live with honor
And we all walk tall
And the blood runs thicker
Than water in Kinfolks Holler

Paw is the law
The preacher and the judge
And he rules with a mighty firm hand
He's the deacon of the church
And the mayor of the town
Yeah, my Paw's a mighty big man

When he's dead and gone
We'll carry on
His rules he's sworn to follow
But at a hundred and five
He's still mighty spry
Down here in the Kinfolks Holler

Way down here in Kinfolks Holler
Everybody is a kissing cousin
Where the code of the hills
Ain't kill or be killed
Cause there ain't no feuding or fussing

We're all for one and one for all
And we live with honor
And we all walk tall
And the blood runs thicker
Than water in Kinfolks Holler

Yeah, the blood runs thicker
Than water in Kinfolks Holler
