歌词
We catch our memories wandering
Through the past from time to time
As the mountain family's music
Lives again inside our mind
We dream of Allegheny Hills
And West Virginia land
And an old time family bluegrass band
A God-fearing mom and daddy
Raised us younguns on a song
By the banks where old New River
Gently sways and rolls along
Yeah, once upon a time
There dwelled a close-knit mountain clan
An old time family bluegrass band
You never heard the like
Of melodies the family played
The guitar kept the rhythm
As the fiddle sawed away
We recall the banjo ringing
And the singing mandolin
In an old time family bluegrass band
Daddy slapped the upright
Mama strummed the autoharp
We couldn't read the music
We just played it all by heart
Lord, how those songs would float
Across that fertile mountain land
From the old time family bluegrass band
I see us sitting around the porch
On starry summer nights
I remember how the music
Made my world seem good and right
When all the folks would raise
Their happy voices and join in
With the old time family bluegrass band
You never heard the like
Of melodies the family played
The guitar kept the rhythm
As the fiddle sawed away
We recall the banjo ringing
And the singing mandolin
In an old time family bluegrass band
Yes, an old time family bluegrass band
