Kinfolks Holler by Loretta Lynn Lyrics
[Verse]
Pa and Ma, 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
[Chorus]
Way down here in Kinfolks Holler, everybody is a kissin' cousin
Where the code of the hills ain't 'kill or be killed'
'Cause there ain't no feudin' or fussin'
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
[Verse]
Pa 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 Pa is a mighty good 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
[Chorus]
Way down here in Kinfolks Holler, everybody is a kissin' cousin
Where the code of the hills ain't 'kill or be killed'
'Cause there ain't no feudin' or fussin'
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
