Intro
Doc Cyrus Hooten came to town, 'Bout a hundred years ago
Bought all the land that he could see, Let people come and live for free

V1
Doc he welcomed everyone, Black or white, didn't matter none
People came from all around, 20 families settled down
Jug band plays on Friday nights, lot's of moonshine, ain't no fights
Folks 'round here just livin' life, treatin' everybody right

CH 1
On Sunday mornings here in Hooten's Holler
We celebrate the love that's all around us
Music, peace & Harmony surround us
It's a beautiful day, here in Hooten's Holler

Breakdown
He never cared where you came from, he reached out to everyone
Old Doc was the kind of man, gave anyone a helping hand.

V2
Cyrus lived till ninety -one, left this place to all of us
Now we're a hundred families strong, somehow we all get along
Jug band plays on Friday nights, Lot's of moonshine, ain't no fights
Folks 'round here just livin' life, treatin' everybody right

CH 2
On Sunday mornings here in Hooten's Holler
We celebrate the love that's all around us
Music, peace & Harmony surround us
It's a beautiful day, here in Hooten's Holler

Breakdown 2
Fathers sisters, Mothers sons, We got room for everyone
Strangers welcomed every day, we hope everybody stays

CH 3
On Sunday mornings here in Hooten's Holler
We celebrate the love that's all around us
Music, peace & Harmony surround us
It's a beautiful day, here in Hooten's Holler

We don't care where you come, we'all welcome everyone
Here in Hooten's Holler, It's a beautiful day in Hooten's Holler

instrumention is good. Guitar is good, slide guitar is cool. Vocals are good

Nice big, wide mix. Good guitar tones, too.
Switching up the solos at 1:16 would help. Nice breakdown section.

This is a great story song and I like your soft ware........

A get-down, super fun song that harkens back to the best of Shenandoah. Hank brings the party!

AWESOME! I keep thinking Dierks Bently when I hear this song! Great work!
