Way down in West Virginia
There's some people who are one of a kind
They don't need nothin' from nobody
Cause there already doin' fine
You got Hasil Adkins hunchin'
And Maime's raisin' [bad word] The legend of D. Ray White
Will never die like a rebel yell

And ole' Jesco's dancin' in his daddy's shoes
Ya ole' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone County blues
And ole' Maime shes done some time in jail
The legend of Ray White
Will never die like a rebel yell

Bertie Mae white shes 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 livin' off the land
When she's done livin' in this world you know the lord's gonna take her by her hand

And ole' Jesco's dancin' in his daddy's shoes
Ya ole' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone County blues
And Maime you know she's still raisin' [bad word] The legend of Ray White
Will never die like a rebel yell

Yeah the legend of Ray White
Will never die like a rebel yell
