Cold Kentucky Night Made a Cold Evil Dawn)

Chorus

Water rolling down the holler (soft harmonies)

Dark as sorrow, swift and wide

Left our lives broke and hollow

On that cold Kentucky night

Post-Chorus

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy

Verse 2

Allen’s fields, now gone to river

Barn and steeple washed away

Ma and Pa’s old gospel pictures

Floating lost amidst the clay

Pre-Chorus

All that’s good slipped through my fingers

Rain keeps falling on my soul

Chorus

Water rolling down the holler (soft harmonies)

Dark as sorrow, swift and wide

Left our lives broke and hollow

On that cold Kentucky night

Post-Chorus

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy

Verse 3

Sunrise barely touches timber

Empty cradle by the door

Neighbors gather, voices trembling

Praying love can mend the floor

Pre-Chorus

Hope sits washed upon the hillside

Broken hymn tunes fill the air

Chorus

Water rolling down the holler (soft harmonies)

Dark as sorrow, swift and wide

Left our lives broke and hollow

On that cold Kentucky night

Post-Chorus

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy
