lyrics

There once was an old farm house
Where the best moonshine was made
But that old moonshiner's gone
His debts have all been paid

The children who were born there
Some of them moved away

But not so far as across the road
And there their families stayed

Chorus
That old farm house still stands
A little off the road
It's weathered the seasons
And watched the trees grow
For the ramblers the roamers
And all in between
With simple words and melodies
It can't be explained

To Upper Michigan they came
Packin' a family so big
You couldn't count blood relatives
From those who just came in

They moved in that old farm house
Six boys, six girls the same
Brothers and sisters and
Timbrook was their name

Chorus

The grandsons of the moonshiner
They thought the girls were sweet
And every day they'd cross the road
The Timbrook Farm they'd greet

Year by year they grew and grew
Until one day it came
One of those little Timbrook girls
She went and changed her name
