Kinfolks Holler

(Album: You're Lookin' At Country - 1971)

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 ole 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 everbody 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 everbody 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
