Lyrics

HOME REMEDIES

Back the hollow up on the hill
You can still hear the song
Of the whippoorwill
And out away from them city lights
You can even see the stars at night
An old two story house
Give us room to grow
Back the end of an old dirt road

We kept a garden
And what daddy killed
And momma canned
Kept our cubords filled
Had a cow , some chickens
And a couple of hogs
A mess of cats and a old hound dog
If we’d get down
Mama always found
Some old Remedy to bring us back around

Now mama’s gone daddy too
But those old remedies
That they used to use
And a whole lotta love
Went a long, long way
Daddy never said much he had his way
Momma took it to the table
Taught us to pray
The way it was ,back in them good old days

Back in the Hollow up on the hill
You can still hear the sound
Of the Whippoorwill
