GONE, GONNA RISE AGAIN -- Words & Music : Si Kahn
Also recorded by The Gordons
VERSE 1:
DI remember the Cyear my granDdaddy died
CGone, gonna Drise again
DThey dug his Cgrave on a Dmountainside
CGone, gonna Drise again
DI was too young to Cunderstand
The Gway he felt abAout the land
But DI could read his Chistory Din his hands
CGone, gonna Drise again
VERSE 2:
DCorn in the Ccrib and Dapples in the bin
CGone, gonna Drise again
DHam in the Csmokehouse, Dcotton in the gin
CGone, gonna Drise again
DCows in the barn and Chogs in the plot
You Gknow he never Ahad a lot
But he Dworked like the Cdevil for the Dlittle he'd got
CGone, gonna Drise again
VERSE 3:
DThose apple Ctrees on the Dmountainside
CGone, gonna Drise again
DHe planted the Cseeds just beDfore he died
CGone, gonna Drise again
DI guess he knew he'd Cnever see
The Gred fruit hanging Afrom the tree
But he Dplanted those Cseeds for his Dchildren and me
CGone, gonna Drise again
VERSE 4:
DHigh on a Cridge aboDve the farm
CGone, gonna Drise again
DI think of my Cpeople that Dhave gone on
CGone, gonna Drise again
DLike a tree that grows in the Cmountain ground
The Gstorms of life have Acut them down
But the Dnew wood Csprings from the Droots underground
CGone, gonna Drise again
CGone, gonna Drise again
