lyrics

Ridin into West Virginia putting as many miles as I can
In between these mountains and the heart of a dyin man
Early in the morning the rooster crowed but I was gone
Runnin fast from that risin sun though I knew I’d done no wrong
I’d done no wrong…

Overtook me up at Harpers Ferry where they hung Ol’ John Brown
Near the railroad line beneath the bluffs I stood out on open ground
They had me surrounded from the North, South, East and West
Two pearl-handled pistols I drew slowly from my vest

Said “I ain’t got a mind to kill no man, if you’ll leave me on my own”
They just laughed, said “listen boy, you know we come here to take you home”

But that’s not my home.

So my thumbs pulled back the hammers. I knew what must be done.
But I felt no peace within my soul for I’d never killed no one

I looked up those mountain walls and saw a hawk soarin to the sky
Free and homeward towards the sun and I closed both my eyes
And I remembered the story of Jericho.
Of battles won when no hope was found.
And I prayed to the Lord for a miracle and those rocks came falling down
Lord falling down. Falling down.

My body lays there to this day / Buried beneath the stone
But have no pity on my soul / For I am free and I am home
