lyrics

YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
A’SO SAY THE KING OF THE HOLLER

BUT NOW DADDY’S GETTIN’ OLDER
BUT NOW DADDY’S GETTIN’ OLDER
BUT NOW DADDY’S GETTIN’ OLDER
A’WHO WILL BE KING OF THE HOLLER

YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
AN’ YOU COULD BE KING OF THE HOLLER

YOU KNOW YOUR MAMA DONE TOLD YA
YOU KNOW YOUR MAMA DONE TOLD YA
YOU KNOW YOUR MAMA DONE TOLD YA
THAT YOU WOULD BE KING OF THE HOLLER

YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
NOW WHY NOT TRY KING OF THE HOLLER

SHE SAID NOBODY COULD HOLD HER
SHE SAID NOBODY COULD HOLD HER
SHE SAID NOBODY COULD HOLD HER
A’SAVE FOR THE KING OF THE HOLLER

YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
YOU BEEN A GOOD SOLDIER
AND YOU WERE THE KING OF THE HOLLER

O YOU WERE THE KING OF THE HOLLER

We strive to center marginalized perspectives; destigmatize mental illness, disability, and survival after sexual violence; to celebrate the spectrums of gender and sexuality; and to serve the New Haven community. ... more
