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
