Poor Ole Henry Mathis (A Mountain Ballad) by Joyce J Starnes

Poor Ole Henry Mathis is a Tennessee Mountain ballad that preserves a true story of a medicine man from the early 1900's in Benton, Tennessee. Written by Joyce J. Starnes, the song serves as a tribute to her grandfather, a man remembered for his quiet strength and a heart of immense kindness. ​The lyrics recount a life-changing event on a mountain path near the family's home and apple orchard. It tells of a man who, despite having very little, gave everything he had to a stranger in need—only to be met with a senseless act of violence that left him forever changed. ​Through this music, we honor the legacy of the Mathis and Ballew families of Polk County. This arrangement captures the "High Lonesome" sound of the era, blending traditional mountain instrumentation with a steady, reverent rhythm to tell a story of sacrifice, resilience, and a spirit that remained "so true" until the very end. ​From the collection: Jobie Soul The Legacy ​Written by: Joyce J.
