Hank Williams III - D Ray White Lyrics






Way down in West Virginia
There are some people who are one of a kind
They don't need nothin' from nobody
'Cause they're already doin' fine
You got Hasil Adkins hunchin'
An' Mamie's raisin' hell
The legend of D Ray White
Will never die like a rebel yell

An' ol' Jesco's dancin' in his Daddy's shoes
Yeah, ol' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone County blues
(Boone County blues)
An' ol' Mamie, you know she's done some time in jail
The legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell

[Instrumental break]

Bertie Mae White, she's the strongest woman
That I've ever met in my life
She raised over twenty-four of her own
An' had to watch her husband dyin'
She's always fightin' hard
An' livin' off the land
When she's done livin' in this world
You know, the Lord's gonna take her by her hand

An' ol' Jesco's dancin' in his Daddy's shoes
Yeah, ol' Hasil's still hunchin' out them Boone County blues
(Boone County blues)
An' ol' Mamie, you know she's still raisin' hell
The legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell
Yeah, the legend of D Ray White will never die like a rebel yell

  35. K.... L....

    Completely addicted to this song

  36. C.... M....

    Fuck of a job on this song, you fuck face!!! Love how you have your own style!!

  37. A.... L....

    Hank 3 was the BEST live show Ive ever seen, and Ive seen a lot. He puts his heart and soul into it. a 5 hour set!!! .... Came right down into the crowd afterwards and hung out. Definitely one of my idols and inspirations. BTW..... although "White Lightning" IS a great movie.... it is a TOTALLY inaccurate account of Jescoe White's life. TOTAL fiction.

    A.... L....

    He has a cabin is between Boone and Logan county wv and hangs out with us like He's one of the family. Ain't nothing fame struck about him. He's a good old boy and can hold his liquor if I might add

    A.... L....

    Billy Pack You talking about Hank? He seems like a good ol boy down to earth

    A.... L....

    White Lightning was a Burt Reynolds movie from 1973, nothing to do with the Whites

    A.... L....

    @ruffhunter ruffhunter white lightning was running back roads before Burt was even born. :)

  38. N.... W....

    I'd love to get fucked up with the white family haha!

    N.... W....

    Nicholas Wynne kikjooo

    N.... W....

    Come to Minnastoa once. Or I could meet in west virgina

  39. C.... A....

    fuckin love it!

  40. J.... M....

  41. N.... w....

  43. P.... G....

  44. K.... N....

    i wish I was part of the White klan

  45. M.... ....
