Hell's Half Acre Lyrics - Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson

Yeah, it's way up in the Black Hills 

Where we come from 

There's a girl and she warned me 

Don't pick up that gun, gun 

Oh, by the law of the land 

By the promise that might is right 

She would hold me and cry 

Don't you go off the fight 

Somebody knocking at my door 

Oh, I been called to war 

Say goodbye to Tobacco Road 

Wear my colors, call my brothers 

And for my country I'll go

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Down on Hell's Half Acre and again 

Shakin' with fever, come again 

Rumble in the jungle 

Oh down on Hell's Half Acre and again 

Oh, she wrote me in a letter 

And said, "What have they done?" Oh, my angel 

Placed a crown of thorns 

On this native son, like that 

Oh, maybe they're right 

Oh, but maybe they're wrong 

Oh, but what can I do 

You're not here you're gone 

Somethin' in the air is much too quiet 

Hear my heartbeat, oh 

The storms that rages from within 

Three times thunder, blood runs cold 

Got this wound on my soul

Down on Hell's Half Acre and again 

Walkin' on fire, come again 

Trouble in the wasteland 

Down on Hell's Half Acre and again 

Oh, back in the land where buffalo roam 

Oh, is this my home 

She said, "You've changed, you're not the same" 

Clouds of napalm and the opium 

The damage was already done 

Down on Hell's Half Acre and again 

Shakin' with fever and again 

Rumble in the jungle 

Oh, down on Hell's Half Acre 

Oh, down on Hell's Half Acre 

Walkin' on fire 

We got trouble in the wasteland 

Oh, down on Hell's Half Acre and again
