														   a C

I went down to
taneytown

G a

I went down to
taneytown

C G a e G

To see what I
could see



My mama told me never
go

I4m almost twenty-two years old

Sometimes I feel this holler swallow me



She went off to Gettysburg

Went
off with that new beau of her

I snuck off
after dark

Long way down the country
road

Stars were bright the moon was low

Down to where the blacktop highway starts



Everybody stared at me

You4d
think that they ain4t never seen

A colored
boy before

They chunked at me called me
names

They4d have whipped me sure but the
sheriff came

I slipped off right throught
the drygoods store



I ran dowm
division street

Some of them boys followed
me

Down to the railroad track

Four of
them an i can fight

But I had my old randall
knife

I cut that boy and never looked
back



B-part: D



Cross
the fields and wood I ran

Like a bullet
from a rabbit gun

Back home to my bed

Ma came in from Gettysburg

Her and that
new beau of hers

Boy you look like hell
wass all she said



A month went by
without a word

Somebody down the holler
heard

About that boy they hung

He
begged those men to spare his life

But I
dropped my bloody randall knife

He picked
it up so they thought he was the one
