    Lyrics

    I remember the day my granddaddy died
    Gone, gonna rise again
    We dug his grave on the mountainside
    Gone, gonna rise again
    I was too young to understand
    The way he felt about the land
    But you could read his story in the lines on his hands
    Gone, gonna rise again

    Corn on the cob and apples in the bin
    Gone, gonna rise again
    Ham in the smokehouse, cotton in the gin
    Gone, gonna rise again
    Cows in the barn and pigs in the lot
    You know, he never had a lot
    But he worked like a devil for the little that he got
    Gone, gonna rise again

    Apple trees on the mountainside
    Gone, gonna rise again
    He planted the seeds before he died
    Gone, gonna rise again
    I guess he knew he never would see
    The ripe, red fruit hanging from the tree
    But he planted the seeds for his children and me
    Gone, gonna rise again

    High on a ridge above the farm
    Gone, gonna rise again
    I think of my people that have gone on
    Gone, gonna rise again
    Like trees that grows in the mountain ground
    The storms of life have cut them down
    But the new wood springs from the roots in the ground

    Gone, gonna rise again
    Gone, gonna rise again
    Gone, gonna rise again
