[00:07.37]She never could give up the homestead on the farm
[00:12.84]Where they handed off tobacco in the big tobacco barn
[00:17.93]And the long straight rows that ran
[00:21.24]From the house down to the road
[00:23.48]That runs to AP Carter’s store on the logging truck she rode
[00:29.85]Oh, she would sit and gaze at the foggy mountain top
[00:35.49]Where the swift hawk circled round the Clinch Mountain rocks
[00:41.08]At the school down in Hiltons she would read about the world
[00:46.24]Created to be conquered by this Poor Valley girl
[00:52.18]
[01:00.66]Her mother was an Addington from over copper creek
[01:05.50]Her father was of steady stock, she was royal but meek
[01:10.08]Her laughter was infectious, her music was pure joy
[01:15.49]She’d win the hearts of man men as she did many a boy
[01:21.92]Her mother became famous, Maybelle and her guitar
[01:27.58]With sisters Helen and Anita, the family was four star
[01:32.81]She gave the world two daughters
[01:35.96]And a son with auburn curls
[01:38.34]And I thank God that he gave me
[01:41.36]This sweet Poor Valley girl
[01:44.77]Oh, she would sit and gaze at the foggy mountain top
[01:50.17]Where the swift hawk circled round the Clinch Mountain rocks
[01:55.55]At the school down in Hiltons she would read about the world
[02:01.67]Created to be conquered by this Poor Valley girl
