    Lyrics:
                                                      
    [V1-Lead Only] Born in a cabin on a dark mountain slope Sun didn't shine 'cept in the flatlands Moonshine filled our hearts with hope Mining gave us working man's hands [V2-Lead Only] Stream cut through the valley low Sitting on the front porch looking through the trees Spirits brought me tidings from the black crow Message carried on a gentle breeze [Pre-chorus -Lead Only] Granddad said this is where you belong Hear that fiddle music and sing along [Chorus- Call and Response] Down in the holler Swim in the creek under the moonlight That's where most lovin' will start Hills will cradle you to sleep at night Wake in the morning with a happy heart Help your neighbor let your love shine bright Everyone's gotta do their part All down in the holler [V3-Lead Only] Loved ones are buried at the top of the hill Watching over every step we make Gave us love and they always will You carry on for your family's namesake [Pre-chorus -Lead Only] Granddad said this is where you belong Hear that fiddle music and sing along [Chorus- Call & Response] Down in the holler Remember to dance under the moonlight You were loved right from the start Hills will cradle you to sleep at night Wake in the morning with a happy heart Help your neighbor let your love shine bright Everyone's gotta do their part All down in the holler [Bridge – Call and Response] The holler's the place of your family roots Grows deep in the dirt It'll always help you find your truth Folks here won't let you hurt You'll find peace and comfort down in your boots In the dusky evenings when guitars and banjos play Take out your harp and play along Music fills the hills at the close of day Your story is found in every song Down in the holler [Outro] People in the holler will care for you You can count on them, their love is true Down in holler, down in the holler
