King Street Bluegrass - Hogjaw Holler

I was raised in Hogjaw Holler
Back in those West Virginia hills
Beneath the shadow of the mountains
My heart and memories linger still
Of Grandma Becky baking biscuits
Grandpa Jessie chopping wood
If but one wish could be granted
I'd go back there if I could
I got up each early morning
Walked a mile to get the mail
Across the creeks past mountain laurel
Up ancient paths I knew so well
To Grandma Becky baking biscuits
Grandpa Jessie chopping wood
If but one wish could be granted
I'd go back there if I could
We worked hard up in that holler
Not much money could be found
But we were rich with other blessings
For in that home love did abound.
With Grandma Becky baking biscuits
Grandpa Jessie chopping wood
If but one wish could be granted
I'd go back there if I could
I had a dog his name was Bubbles
He was my childhood friend
We'd go walking through those mountains
He'd lead me safely home again
To Grandma Becky baking biscuits
Grandpa Jessie chopping wood
If but one wish could be granted
I'd go back there if I could
I'd go back there if I could
