Thanks.

Thank you. Fake country is right. My God most of it should be lumped in with rap for what good it is.

[LeeChgo]

He is true to country & bluegrass - not the fake country of most today ; Lee

So God grant me speed and grant me forgiveness And carry me on through the night Take me through the hills and over your rivers Away from this awful fight Cause I ain't never known a man that's ever owned another Ain't never owned nothin' of my own And after 4 long years I just can't tell you What the hell I've been fighting for... So take me home... Lone pine hill Take me home... Lone pine hill

[khmerRougeRedux]

After 4 years gone and all hope lost And Richmond under seige And we're diggin out Five Forks And waitin in the rain For Sheridan to bring us to our knees So take me home... Lone pine hill There's a strange moon hangin' overhead tonight And if the rain keeps comin then the creek's gonna rise With the good lord's grace I'll make it outta this place I'll be in her arms come the morning light I swear...

[khmerRougeRedux]

And burned off the brush To get to the riches below And when they pulled out They left a cold black ground And one pine standing lone So take me home... Lone pine hill I signed up back in '61 I'm an army of Virginia man I've been from Mannasas to Mackonackey All the way to Sailors Creek fighting For my home land

[khmerRougeRedux]

I swear I see her in my dreams sometimes Held up in the middle of the night Shakin like a pistol in a young mans hand There in the pale moonlight Standin up the top of that lonely hill Spared by the company mines Is my blue eyed baby with her best dress on In the shadow of a lonely pine It was back before the war When the company came These hills grew wild and free Me and baby we'd hide in the hollers low Away from the cruel sun's heat But then they knocked down the timber
