| [00:17.41] |
It's Decoration day |
| [00:21.00] |
An I'd a mind to roll a stone on his grave |
| [00:25.15] |
What would he say? |
| [00:28.86] |
Keeping me down, boy, won't keep you away |
| [00:33.43] |
It's Decoration day |
| [00:36.77] |
And I knew the hill boys would put it on away |
| [00:40.43] |
But my daddy wasn't afraid |
| [00:43.90] |
He said, |
| [00:44.49] |
"We'd fight till the last Lawson's last living day" |
| [00:48.85] |
I never knew how it all got started |
| [00:52.77] |
A problem with holland before we were born |
| [00:56.94] |
And I don't know the name of that boy we tied down |
| [01:00.89] |
And beat till he just couldn't walk anymore |
| [01:05.58] |
But I know the caliber in Daddy's chest |
| [01:09.50] |
I know what Holland Hill drives |
| [01:13.59] |
The State let him go, but I guess it was best |
| [01:18.17] |
'Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive |
| [01:35.56] |
Daddy said one of the boys had come by |
| [01:39.26] |
The Lumber Man's favorite son |
| [01:43.17] |
He said, |
| [01:44.11] |
"Beat him real good but don't dare let him die |
| [01:47.85] |
And if you see holland Hill, run" |
| [01:51.96] |
Well, I said, |
| [01:53.27] |
"They ain't give us trouble before" |
| [01:56.44] |
An' we ain't brought down on ourselves |
| [02:00.35] |
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor |
| [02:04.69] |
An' I'll send all the hill boys to hell |
| [02:08.85] |
I'll send all the hill boys to hell |
| [02:39.82] |
It's Decoration Day |
| [02:43.72] |
And I got a family in mobile bay |
| [02:47.90] |
And they never seen my daddy's grave |
| [02:51.98] |
But that don't bother me, it ain't marked anyway |
| [02:56.47] |
'Cause I got dead brothers in lauderdale south |
| [03:00.71] |
And I got dead brothers in east tennessee |
| [03:05.08] |
My daddy got shot right in front of his house |
| [03:09.40] |
He had no one to fall on but me |
| [03:15.06] |
It's Decoration Day |
| [03:19.35] |
And I've got a mind to go spit on his grave |
| [03:22.36] |
If I was a hill,I'd have put him away |
| [03:26.81] |
And I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day |
| [03:31.12] |
I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day |
| [03:35.32] |
I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day |
