Lyrics
He was born in Dixon Holler in 1893,
Never had no runnin water no electricity.
He raised his own tabacco and he raised a family,
he alway's said you can't go wrong
in life if you do whats mountain right.
Stand your ground straight and tall mountain right,
go down proud if you must fall this has alway's been our land and I
love it more than life,
and when I die I'll know that I lived Mountain Right.
A car rolled up one day with US Highway on the door.
The interstate is coming through you can't live here anymore,
The old man said my pa lived here and my
grandpa before and I ain't giving up without a fight.
I'm Gunna do what's Mountain Right.
Well they came back to give him one last chance to change his mind.
They came with guns and dogs and talked through megaphones this time.
The old man said I told you once I'm not the runnin kind,
if you boy's don't shoot first,
well I just might and I'll be Mountain Right.
I'll stand my ground straight and tall
Mountain Right, just say the hell with all you all.
If your gunna take my land,
your gunna have to take my life and when I
die, I'll know that I lived Mountain Right.
Now if you gas up in dixon ask anyone in town they'll point you to a
cabin that the highway goes around you can read the head stone where
his eppitatt is found says god may judge him in a diffrent lite but
here he was Mountain Right he stood his ground stright and tall
Mountain Right said I'll fall proud if I must fall this had always
been his land and he loved it more than life
when he died he knew inside he was Mountain Right.
He was born in dixon holler in 1893
never had no running water no electricty.
He raised his own tobacco and he raised a family,
he always said you can't go wrong in
life if you do what's Mountain Right.
