D Em
Capo 3
G G/F# Em
It�s Decoration Day
G G/F# Em
And I�ve a mind to roll a stone on his grave
G G/F# Em
But what would he say
D Em
�Keeping me down, boy, won�t keep me away�
G G/F# Em
It�s Decoration Day
G G/F# Em
And I knew the Hill Boys that put him away
G G/F# Em
But my Daddy wasn�t afraid
D Em
He said �We�d fight till the last Lawson�s last living day�
I never knew how it all got started
A problem with Holland before we were born
And I don�t know the name of that boy we tied down
And beat till he just couldn�t walk anymore
But I know the caliber in Daddy�s chest
And I know what Holland Hill drives
The state let him go but I guess it was best
Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive
Daddy said one of the boys had come by
The lumber man�s favorite son
He said, �Beat him real good but don�t dare let him die�
And if you see Holland Hill run
Well I said, �they ain�t give us trouble no more
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
It�s Decoration Day
And I�ve got a family in Mobile Bay
And they�ve never seen my Daddy�s grave
But that 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 got a mind to go spit on his grave
If I was a Hill, I�d have put him away
And I�d fight till the last Lawson�s last living day
I�d fight till the last Lawson�s last living day
I�d fight till the last Lawson�s last living day
