Floyd County Lyrics - Dwight Yoakam

It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones 

Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone 

And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 

'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones 

The six children he raised are all weepin' 

For this soft-spoken mountain man 

Who fed them with the money 

he earned in those black mines 

And the food he could raise with his hands 

It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones 

Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone 

And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 

'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones

Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom 

Or the honest and simple things he did 

There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today 

That know about the humble way he lived 

It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones 

Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone 

And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 

'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones 

Instrumental 

Now this house in the holler stands empty 

Though his presence in my memory is plain 

You know that I'd swear that 

I just saw him walkin' up that hill 

I guess this place just won't never be the same
