ItćŻ Decoration Day.
And Ićłe a mind to roll a stone on his grave.
But what would he say.
ćeeping me down, boy, wonć° keep me away
ItćŻ Decoration Day.
And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,
but my Daddy wasnć° afraid.
He said ćĽećŁl fight till the last LawsonćŻ last living day
I never knew how it all got started
a problem with Holland before we were born
and I donć° know the name of that boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldnć° walk anymore.
But I know the caliber in DaddyćŻ chest
and I know what Holland Hill drives.
The state let him go, but I guess it was best
cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive.
Daddy said one of the boys had come by
the Lumber ManćŻ favorite son.
He said, ćeat him real good but donć° dare let him die
and if you see Holland Hill run.
Now I said, ćhey ainć° give us trouble no more
that we ainć° brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
and IćŁl send all the Hill Boys to hell.
ItćŻ Decoration Day
and Ićłe got a family in Mobile Bay
and theyćłe never seen my DaddyćŻ grave.
But that donć° bother me, it ainć° marked anyway.
Cause I got dead brothers in Lauderdale south
and I got dead brothers in east Tennessee.
My Daddy got shot right in front of his house
he had noone to fall on but me.
ItćŻ Decoration Day
and Ićłe got a mind to go spit on his grave.
If I was a Hill, Ić have put him away
and Ić fight till the last LawsonćŻ last living day.
Ić fight till the last LawsonćŻ last living day.
Ić fight till the last LawsonćŻ last living day.
