Grandpa, he was born in West Kentucky On a rocky hillside farm outside a town Torn down by a coal mine in the '40's Aint' nothin' left if you chance to look around There's ten kids in the family in that little shotgun shack He loved sweet watermelon and he mighta tried a smoke But they had strong religion in those days up in the hills A strong faith that stuck with him the remainder of his life I met a girl in California and she likes them old time songs The music of the mountains sweet and low Madisonville, she's callin' and she wants to bring me home To the land where my family came from Let me take you there my darlin' Come let me take you home To that sweet Kentucky sunlight Breakin through the clouds above Come meet me in Kentucky and Let's lay down in the fields Join with me my love I'm comin' home He lived until his 80's with a shock of snow white hair A quiet man, he held some strong ideas He took a stand when necessary Stood up for those we need to carry (And) Always remembered where he's from I met a girl in California and she likes them old time songs The music of the mountains sweet and low Madisonville, she's callin' and she wants to bring me home To the land where my family came from Let me take you there my darlin' Come let me take you home To that sweet Kentucky sunlight Breakin through the clouds above Come meet me in Kentucky and Let's lay down in the fields Join with me my love I'm comin' home
