Herman had a copper still along with three pretty daughters Kept them hid away above old Lonesome Holler Youngest one said she'd be mine if I asked her father I grabbed a jug of my finest shine and I headed to the Holler Dark Mountain my little miss, Dark Mountain my darlin' Weddin' bells to be ringin' soon above old Lonesome Holler She loved me in the springtime loved me in the fall I want her lovin' all the time or I'll take no lovin' at all The Braxton boy lived down the levee, a place we called Black Water I heard that he'd been seein' my gal down in Lonesome Holler Dark Mountain my little miss, Dark Mountain my darlin' My heart's breakin' above old Lonesome Holler She left her house in the dead of night, and soon I'd foller She met that Braxton boy down in Lonesome Holler Well my eyes teared up and my mouth ran dry when I tried to swaller My blood ran cold as she laid in his arms down there in the Holler Three went down Dark Mountain that night, death be soon to foller I left their bodies in a pool of blood down there in the Holler Screech owl covered up the young boy's screams he'll never return to Black Water Now their bodies'll rot in the leaves and the trees down in Lonesome Holler Dark Mountain my little miss, Dark Mountain my darlin' Moonshine runs bloody red down in Lonesome Holler Dark Mountain my little miss, Dark Mountain my darlin'
