[Verse 1]
In West Jefferson she grew up dirt poor
And in a mountain revival she turned to the Lord
She learned that He loved with no conditions
A love that she gave to her daughters and sons

[Chorus]
She wore a gold cross on a rope chain
Said a little prayer in the father′s name
Watched over her whole flock
Called them all by their full names
Never stopped holding on to her only claim to fame
She wore a gold cross on a ropе chain

[Verse 2]
Now out here in Nashville I'm drinking again
And еveryone knows it, I can′t keep it hid
And when in my failure I cut the last thread
I reach for that cross on that chain by the bed

[Chorus]
She wore a gold cross on a rope chain
Said a little prayer in the father's name
I just drove off
I was 17 and a day
Left her holding on to her only claim to fame
She wore a gold cross on a rope chain
