cause they tell me that Hazard, Kentucky's the baldest place in the world. Why,

when they'd come down the hollow. Said they was so young,
C C C C
took two o' them boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger, hymn. Well, grandpa,

he'd lie a little bit, but I'll tell you, there's a lot of stories in Harlan County.
