Lyrics
It's Decoration Day And I've a mind to roll a stone on his grave And what would he say? He'd say, "Keepin' me down, boy, won't keep you away" It's Decoration Day I knew the Hill boys would put him away But my Daddy wasn't afraid Said we'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last living day But I never knew how it all got started Problem with Hollan before we were born And I don't know the name of the boy we tied down And beat 'til he just couldn't walk anymore But I know the caliber in Daddy's chest I know what Hollan Hill drives The state let him go, but I guess it was best 'Cause nobody needs all the Lawsons alive Daddy said onе of the boys had come by The lumbеrman's favorite son He said, "Beat him real good, but don't dare let him die And if you see Hollan Hill, run" Well I said, "They ain't give us trouble before That we ain't brought down on ourselves" But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor And I'll send all the Hill boys to Hell I'll send all the Hill boys to Hell Decoration Day And I've a mind to go spit on his grave And I got a family in Mobile Bay Don't bother me, it ain't 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 no one to fall on but me It's Decoration Day And I've a mind to go spit on his grave If I'd been a Hill I'd have put him away And I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last living day I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last living day I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last living day
