gone gonna rise again - annie patterson lyrics
[verse 1]
i remember the year that my granddaddy died
gone, gonna rise again
well, they dug his grave on a mountainside
gone, gonna rise again
well, i was too young to understand
the way he felt about the land
but i could read his history in his hands
gone, gonna rise again
[verse 2]
well, it’s corn in the crib and apples in the bin
gone, gonna rise again
ham in the smokehouse and cotton in the gin
gone, gonna rise again
cows in the barn and hogs in the lot
you know, he never had a lot
but he worked likе a devil for the little hе got
gone, gonna rise again
[verse 3]
well, these apple trees on the mountainside
gone, gonna rise again
he planted the seeds just before he died
gone, gonna rise again
well, i guess he knew that he’d never see
the red fruit hanging from the tree
but he planted those seeds for his children and me
gone, gonna rise again
[verse 4]
high on a ridge above the farm
gone, gonna rise again
i think of my people that have gone on
gone, gonna rise again
like a tree that grows in the mountain ground
the storms of life have cut them down
but the new wood springs from the roots underground
gone, gonna rise again
[outro]
gone, gonna rise again
gone, gonna rise again
