An Old Time Family Bluegrass Band

We catch our memories wandering through the
Past from time to time
As a mountain families’ music fills
Again inside our mind
We dream about Euganean Hills
And West Virginian land
And an old time family blue grass band

Our God fearing mum and daddy raised
Us young ‘uns on a song
By the banks where old new river
Gently sways and rolled along
Where once upon a time there dwelled
A close knit mountain clan
An old time family blue grass band

You never heard the like of
Melodies our family played
The guitar kept the rhythm as
The fiddle sawed away
We recall a banjo ringing
And a singing mandolin
In an old time family blue grass band

Daddy slapped the upright
Mamma strummed the other part
We couldn’t read the music we just
Played it all by heart
Lord how those songs just flowed
Across that fertile mountain land
In an old time family blue grass band

I see us sitting round 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 blue grass band

You never heard the like of
Melodies our family played
The guitar kept the rhythm as
The fiddle sawed away
We recall a banjo ringing
And a singing mandolin
In an old time family blue grass band
Yes an old time family blue grass band
