That Stanley Sound

Way back in the hills of old Virginia
There on a small clinch mtn farm
It was there in Dickinson County
There was raised two childhood boys

Soon Ralph and Carter became legends
Playing their songs across the hills
For mile after mile they did travel
Known throughout the world for their Stanley Sound


If I lose or Mountain Dew
The Hills of home
Lonesome without you
And the greatest mountain blend for miles around
How we love that Stanley Sound

Now Carter is gone but not forgotten
And those songs he sang are with us today
Yes he lays up on the hillside
Resting in peace where his mother lays

If I lose or Mountain Dew
The Hills of home
Or Lonesome without you
And the greatest mountain blend for miles around
How we love that Stanley Sound

Dr Ralph with his banjo
Oh how it would ring so loud and clear
Yes we love to hear him to play Old Rocky Iron
Play your banjo Dr Ralph live forever free

If I lose or Mountain Dew
The Hills of home
Or Lonesome without you
And the greatest mountain blend for miles around
How we love that Stanley Sound

If I lose or Mountain Dew
The Hills of home
Or Lonesome without you
And the greatest mountain blend for miles around
How we love that Stanley Sound
