Rednecks And Hillbillys

Migrated for centuries between two coasts
The native Ulster and lowland Scots
Then to the red hand they came in mass
Mainly presbyterian, a people so class

Those Scottish dissenters signed in blood
A covenant for their church of youngblood
So wore red cloth around their necks
From this insignia came the slang Redneck

Bibles in hands to America they sailed
Hills of Ozark and Appalachian trails
Brought ballads of William and orange lilies
With their traditions became the Hillbillys

Up the Rednecks and Hillbillys
From the land of the orange lilies

Out from the old world into the new
On the Great Wagon Road, the Scotch-Irish crew
Fighting for beliefs and land it all so familiar
Orangeburg Carolina, Williamsburg Virginia

Into the wilds, built forts, churches, schools
The log college Princeton, they were no fools
In the brave new world became the pioneers
Like Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier

The Sons of William, the Billy Boys
The OG trail blazers making the noise

Wrote, print and read that famous declaration
Signed it and the constitution to form a new nation
The Pennsylvania Line and the revolutionary war
Love of freedom, rooted in their hearts' core

Fort Knox, the dollar sign and many a president
Leonardo DiCaprio as your man from The Revenant
Mark Twain and Dolly Parton just to name a few
Well Obama and JD Vance, claim there of us to

The Ulster-Scots, the pioneers
Raise your glass, give 'em a cheers

With their songs and ballads a distinctive sound grew
Country, rockabilly, bluegrass get the corkscrew
Pushing out west they visited many a saloon
From our highest village to a man upon the moon

Up the Rednecks and Hillbillys
From the land of the orange lilies
The Sons of William, the billy boys
The OG trail blazers making the noise
The Ulster-Scots, the pioneers
Raise your glass, give 'em a cheers
