Ballad Of The Hatfields And McCoys

©2013 Robert Randall Burke/BMI



In the hills
They tell the story
To all the girls and boys
Of the war
On The Tug river
And the Hatfields and McCoys.

Devil Anse
He was a Hatfield
Hardened by the Civil War
Ran'l McCoy was even harder
And on revenge he swore.

Down along the borderline
I kill yours and you kill mine
The killin' lasted more than thirty years
Now Johnsie's gone, and old Jim Vance
And they'll be hangin' Devil Anse
The river overflows with widows tears.

Well, they took them three young Hatfields
Tied em to a pawpaw tree
And when the smoke had settled
The McCoys had set em free.

Down along the borderline
I kill yours and you kill mine
The killin' lasted more than thirty years
Now Johnsie's gone, and old Jim Vance
And they'll be hangin' Devil Anse
The river overflows with widows tears.
