Lyrics for Song: Little Mountain Church House
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ricky Skaggs
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday,
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord,
There and old fashioned preacher, taught the straight and narrow way,
For, what you call the congretation, could afford.
Dressed in all out Sunday best, we sat on pews of solid oak,
And I remember how our voices filled the air,
How mama sounded like an angel, on those high soprano notes,
And when the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
Chorus:
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
Has become, my life's, corner stone,
It was there in that little mountain church house,
I first heard the word, I've based my life upon.
At the all day Sunday singing, and dinner on the ground,
Many were the souls that were revived,
While my brothers and my sisters, who've gone on to glory land,
Slept in piece in the maple grove nearby.
Chorus:
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
Has become, my life's, corner stone,
It was there in that little mountain church house,
I first heard the word, I've based my life upon.
Chorus:
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
Has become, my life's, corner stone,
It was there in that little mountain church house,
I first heard the word, I've based my life upon...

Little Mountain Church House
Ricky Skaggs' 'Little Mountain Church House' stands as a defining anthem of the Southern Gospel and country crossover movement. Recorded during the late 1980s, the track blends traditional church music with Skaggs' signature bluegrass instrumentation, creating a unique sonic landscape that bridged sacred and secular audiences. The song's narrative centers on the spiritual significance of a local church, reflecting themes of community, faith, and resilience that resonated deeply within the Southern tradition. Skaggs' delivery, characterized by his warm baritone and intricate fiddle work, elevates the material beyond a simple hymn into a powerful statement of regional identity. This recording exemplifies his ability to integrate gospel influences into his broader discography, influencing a generation of artists who sought to honor their heritage while pushing the boundaries of country music's stylistic palette. |
