Standard (EADGBE)
Way down in West Vir gina there's some people who are one of a kind.
They don't need nothing from nobody, 'cause they're already doin' fine.
You got Hasil Adkins hunching and Mamie is raisin' hell
And the legend of D. Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.
And ol' Jesco's dancin' in his daddy's shoes.
Yea ol' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone county blues.
And ol' Mamie, you know she's done some time in jail
And the legend of D. Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.

Bertie Mae White, She's the strongest woman that I've ever met in my life.
She raised over 24 of her own and had to watch her husband die.
She's always fightin' hard and living off the land
And when she's done livin' in this world, you know the Lord's gonna take her by her hand.
And ol' Jesco's dancin' in his daddy's shoes.
Yea ol' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone county blues.
And Mamie, you know she's still raisin' hell
And the legend of D. Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.
And the legend of D. Ray White will never die like a rebel yell.
