Way down in the holler
Mama says the devil deals
Way down in the holler
Lives the keeper of the lightnin' still
Way down in the holler
Mama told me never to go
Way down in the holler
If you go you never come home
Daddy was a workin' man, high up in the hills
Always wondered what he did, but mama never spilled
Leave at dusk and back at dawn, stumblin' through the house
Raisin' hell and breakin' things, with mama and me around
Singin' way down in the holler
Mama says the devil deals
Way down in the holler
Lives the keeper of the lightnin' still
Way down in the holler
Mama told me never to go
Way down in the holler
If you go you never come home
I heard mama scream one night
Leave and never come back
I hope that holler swallows you up 'cause it loves a soul that's black
Laid awake in bed 'til dawn, scared to open the door
To way up in those heavy hills I heard those mountains roar
Singin' way down in the holler
Mama says the devil deals
Way down in the holler
Lives the keeper of the lightnin' still
Way down in the holler
Mama told me never to go
Way down in the holler
If you go you never come home
Mama told me
Boy it's only so you can sleep in peace at night
He's dead and gone with his evil ways and he's sittin' at Lucifer's side
Like the devil he was sent here, to steal, kill, and destroy
Lay your fears to rest my child, 'cause Daddy ain't the devil no more
Way down in the holler
Mama says the devil deals
Way down in the holler
Lives the keeper of the lightnin' still
Singin' way down in the holler
Mama says the devil deals
Way down in the holler
Lives the keeper of the lightnin' still
Way down in the holler
Mama told me never to go
Way down in the holler
If you go you may never come home
