Powerful storytelling from Ralph Stanley and his successor as leader of The Clinch Mountain Boys, Ralph Stanley II.
For most of the song, you don’t even know you’re in for a story; it sounds like one more lament over leaving one’s mountain home during that young-and-foolish stage. Then, the last lines of that last verse join up with the final chorus, and the whole thing makes sudden, horrible sense.
This is “Home In the Mountains”.
