A D A
Up Falling Rock Hill where the leaves swoop like bats
A D A
I shot my brother William five times in the back
A D A
"Have mercy, have mercy, dear brother" he cried
A D A
But the wind had no mercy and neither did I
E D A
I watched as his blood ran through dead grass
E D A
I watched as the black ants crawled through his hands
A D A
Up falling Rock Hill the wind softly moaned
A D A
And down, down came I with blood on my clothes
E D A
Cicadas were hissing and the whippoorwill called
A D A
But the earth didn't open and the sky didn't fall

A D A
Round falling rock hill, the wind softly moans
A D A
And black ants they crawl 'cross my dear brothers bones
E D A
Wine red roses tangle the grass
A D A
Where William, sweet William his blood once ran
A D A
Through the dead leaves I walked on till one
A D A
And wherever I stepped the black creatures run
E D A
Cicadas were hissing and the whippoorwill calls
A D A
But the earth doesn't open and the sky doesn't fall
A D A
The earth doesn't open and the sky doesn't fall.
End
"Do your best, forget the rest"
