ALLENS FLOOD

Intro: Kazoo and Drums Solo

Chorus

Hey hillbillies, gotta rise, up up

Hey apple atchunns, gotta help ourselves

Hey apples at y'unns, hands in the mud

Hey mountain folk, gotta do it ourselves

Give each other some help, pullin' up from the dust

Post-Chorus

Go on, go on, brother you know (hey)

Go on, go on, liftin' some more (yeah)

Go on, go on, that’s how it’s done

Verse 2

We came from the mountains, through all them hard times

Our ancestors bled, breakin’ sweat in them mines

Payin’ no mind to the trouble and cold

We carry their pride, just like stories they told

Didn’t want a handout, but they watched the town

Fed each other cornbread when the chips was down

You know it’s the way, guess it runs in our veins

Family, neighbor, through the struggle and rain

Pre-Chorus

Smoke on the ridge, fire in our bones

Out in the sticks but still makin' it known

Old school hearts, never breakin’ for show

Can’t buy respect, yeah you earn it at home

Chorus

Hey hillbillies, gotta rise, up up

Hey apple atchunns, gotta help ourselves

Hey apples at y'unns, hands in the mud

Hey mountain folk, gotta do it ourselves

Give each other some help, pullin' up from the dust

Post-Chorus

Go on, go on, brother you know (hey)

Go on, go on, liftin' some more (yeah)

Go on, go on, that’s how it’s done

Solo: Bongos Hip Hop Beat and Mandolin with Banjo

Verse 3

One day in the mountains, rain wouldn’t stop

River rose high, every field was a swamp

Allen got hit, all them roads turned brown

But the poorest folks still picked each other up around town

No sirens or trucks, just some boots in the flood

Old tires and rope, pullin’ neighbors from mud

Nobody waitin’ for a savior to arrive

We out here surviving, just keepin’ the pride

Pre-Chorus

Hearts made of steel, tougher than stone

Ridin’ through trouble on their own backbone

Leanin’ on brothers, yeah, that’s how we roll

Passin’ the jar, still takin’ control

Chorus

Hey hillbillies, gotta rise, up up

Hey apple atchunns, gotta help ourselves

Hey apples at y’unns, hands in the mud

Hey mountain folk, gotta do it ourselves

Give each other some help, pullin’ up from the dust

Post-Chorus

Go on, go on, brother you know (hey)

Go on, go on, liftin’ some more (yeah)

Go on, go on, that’s how it’s done
