Gather round my table Say grace with me In my little trailer In the mountains of wise county Grief is mine forever Sadness my story Down in inman holler In the mountains of wise county Bye baby baby bye Little baby bye bye Bye baby baby bye My little baby bye bye Mountaintops are made of 1,000 pound boulders That roll down the hills and on to our shoulders Lord let me bear it for safe keeping
Lord let me shield it from my dearest Jeremy Bye baby baby bye Little baby bye bye Bye baby baby bye My little baby bye bye Mama will rock you til you are sleeping Angels will hold you in their keeping Powerful men will make their money Your name will live here in the mountains of wise county Bye baby baby bye Little baby bye bye Bye baby baby bye My little baby bye bye My little baby bye bye
