Hell`s Half Acre Lyrics

Hell`s Half Acre lyrics

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
By the law of the land
By the promise
that might is right
She would hold me and cry - don't you go off and
fight

Somebody knocking at my door
Oh, I been called to war
Say
goodbye to Tobacco Road
Wear my colors, call my brothers
For my country
I'll go

Down on Hell's Half Acre
Shakin' with fever
Rumble in the
jungle
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 yuiet
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
Is this place that I
called 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
