D Ray White

(album: Straight To Hell - 2006)

Way down in West Virginia,
There are some people who are one of a kind.
They don't need nothing from nobody,
'Cause they're already doing fine.
You got Hasil Adkins punching,
An' Mamie's raising hell.
The legend of D Ray White,
Will never die like a rebel yell.

An' ol' Jesco's dancing in his Daddy's shoes.
Yeah, ol' Hasil's still punching out them Boone County blues.
(Boone County blues.)
An' ol' Mamie, you know she's done some time in jail.
The legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.

[Instrumental break]

Birdie May White, she's the strongest woman,
That I've ever met in my life.
She raised over twenty-four of her own,
An' had to watch her husband dying.
She's always fighting hard,
An' living off the land.
When she's done living in this world,
You know, the Lord's gonna take her by her hand.

An' ol' Jesco's dancing in his Daddy's shoes.
Yeah, ol' Hasil's still punching out them Boone County blues.
(Boone County blues.)
An' ol' Mamie, you know she's still raing hell.
The legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.
Yeah, the legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.
