 It's way up in the black hills where we come from

 There's a girl and she warned me don't pick up that gun

 E	       a

 By the law of the land

 She would hold me and cry - don't you go off and fight

 Somebody knocking at my door

 Down on hell's half acre

 E	  a		    d	       e

 Shakin' with fever

 E      a 		   d	      e

 Rumble in the jungle

 E		 d	    e

 Down on hell's half acre

 

 She wrote me a letter and said what have they done

 Placed a crown of thorns an this native son

 Oh, maybe they're right, but maybe they're wrong

 But what can i do, you're not here you're gone

 

 Something in the air is much too quiet

 Hear my heartbeat

 The storms that rages from within

 Three times thunder, blood runs cold

 Got this wound on my soul

 

 Down on hell's half acre

 Walking on fire

 We got trouble in the wasteland

 Down on hell's half acre

 

 Back in the land where buffalo roam

 Oh is this my home

 She said you've changed, you're not the same

 Clouds of napalm and the opium

 The damage was already done

 

 Down on hell's half acre

 Shakin' with fever

 Rumble in the jungle

 Down on hell's half acre

 

 Down on hell's half acre

 Walking on fire

 We got trouble in the wasteland

 Down on hell's half acre
