Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys - From Father to Son

Verse 1
Just a boy in the hills of Virginia
Music was his way of life
When the chores were all done, at the setting of sun
On the front porch they'd sing through the night

Chorus
We'd walk through the fields of clover
As he told me of the days of his life
He said son you must always remember
And carry it all of your days
The most precious gift, I've given to you
Is love from Father to Son
Love from Father to Son

Verse 2
A Father spends his whole lifetime learning
Lessons he passes along
I'm telling my own son my story
I'm telling you now in this song

Chorus
Now we walk through the fields of clover
And I tell him of the days of my life
I say son you must always remember
And carry it all of your days
The most precious gift, I've given to you
Is love from Father to Son
Love from Father to Son

Tag
The most precious gift, I've given to you
Is love from Father to Son
Love from Father to Son
Just a boy in the hills of Virginia
Music was his way of life
