[00:17.41]It's Decoration day
[00:21.00]An I'd a mind to roll a stone on his grave
[00:25.15]What would he say?
[00:28.86]Keeping me down, boy, won't keep you away
[00:33.43]It's Decoration day
[00:36.77]And I knew the hill boys would put it on away
[00:40.43]But my daddy wasn't afraid
[00:43.90]He said,
[00:44.49]"We'd fight till the last Lawson's last living day"
[00:48.85]I never knew how it all got started
[00:52.77]A problem with holland before we were born
[00:56.94]And I don't know the name of that boy we tied down
[01:00.89]And beat till he just couldn't walk anymore
[01:05.58]But I know the caliber in Daddy's chest
[01:09.50]I know what Holland Hill drives
[01:13.59]The State let him go, but I guess it was best
[01:18.17]'Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive
[01:35.56]Daddy said one of the boys had come by
[01:39.26]The Lumber Man's favorite son
[01:43.17]He said,
[01:44.11]"Beat him real good but don't dare let him die
[01:47.85]And if you see holland Hill, run"
[01:51.96]Well, I said,
[01:53.27]"They ain't give us trouble before"
[01:56.44]An' we ain't brought down on ourselves
[02:00.35]But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
[02:04.69]An' I'll send all the hill boys to hell
[02:08.85]I'll send all the hill boys to hell
[02:39.82]It's Decoration Day
[02:43.72]And I got a family in mobile bay
[02:47.90]And they never seen my daddy's grave
[02:51.98]But that don't bother me, it ain't marked anyway
[02:56.47]'Cause I got dead brothers in lauderdale south
[03:00.71]And I got dead brothers in east tennessee
[03:05.08]My daddy got shot right in front of his house
[03:09.40]He had no one to fall on but me
[03:15.06]It's Decoration Day
[03:19.35]And I've got a mind to go spit on his grave
[03:22.36]If I was a hill,I'd have put him away
[03:26.81]And I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day
[03:31.12]I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day
[03:35.32]I'd fight till the last lawson's last living day
