Grafton's Gentle Son

LYRICS Down where the Tygart Valley River flows so deep and wide There’s a story in the shadows where the mountain secrets hide Beneath the bridge at midnight near the old B and O line A creature wanders lonely through the hemlock and the pine He doesn’t mean no trouble and he doesn’t want no fight Just a misunderstood traveler in the middle of the night With shoulders broad as boulders and a skin like weathered clay He’s been a Grafton neighbor since my grandad’s younger day Oh the Grafton Monster is a friend of mine Walking through the hollow where the moonbeams shine He’s a legend of the hills in the wild and free A piece of West Virginia just like you and me He’s got a heavy footfall but a heart of gold The greatest mountain story that was ever told I remember back in sixty-four when Robert saw him first Folks thought the local tall tales had finally reached their worst But I’ve seen him in the clearing when the mist is hanging low Watching over Taylor County everywhere the brambles grow He’s got no head to speak of but he sees with every sense Leaning up against the post of a rusted wire fence He’s the guardian of the coal mines and the silence of the trees Whistling a lonesome tune upon the evening breeze Oh the Grafton Monster is a friend of mine Walking through the hollow where the moonbeams shine He’s a legend of the hills in the wild and free A piece of West Virginia just like you and me He’s got a heavy footfall but a heart of gold The greatest mountain story that was ever told Some folks run in terror when they hear his heavy breath Thinking he’s a specter or a messenger of death But if you stop and listen to the rhythm of his stride You’ll find a gentle spirit with nothing left to hide He loves the smell of ramps in spring and the winter’s early frost A wandering soul in Appalachia that never will be lost Oh the Grafton Monster is a friend of mine Walking through the hollow where the moonbeams shine He’s a legend of the hills in the wild and free A piece of West Virginia just like you and me He’s got a heavy footfall but a heart of gold The greatest mountain story that was ever toldGoodnight Grafton Monster, rest your weary head Sleep among the maples in your leafy forest bed We’ll see you by the river when the stars begin to peep In the West Virginia hills where the ancient secrets keep Just a gentle giant in the mountain deep
