As blue grass turns to brown mud And luscious valleys begin to flood The destruction makes a thud Yet water is thinner than blood
For blood, sweat, and tears Choosing bravery over fears Has been a staple here for years
And years it will take To calm the wake But nothing can take The mindset we make
So don’t mind us As we pray and cuss Appalachia knows that thus
Our houses may totter The mountains have taught her She will rise Come Hell or high water
