N.C.
Oh, well, we run to the break of day,
N.C.
the old man groaned as we rolled away.

Our women wept as we sped on by,
N.C.
we hung our heads low as they raised their flags high.
Verse 1:
A minorAm A minorAm
Then we grabbed our guns and we shot away,
A minorAm A minorAm
let's kill our brothers on a Saturday.
A minorAm A minorAm
Blood spills out and our wounds were deep,
Am*
Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep.
Chorus:
A minorAm
So, then we go on down that road,
Am* A minorAm
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,
Am* A minorAm
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,

mama said I'd die before I get old.

A minorAm A minorAm
The war is over and the graves were deep,
A minorAm A minorAm
the sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep.
A minorAm A minorAm
You burned my house and you raped my wife,
Am*
I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord
N.C.
that I can kill that fucker tonight!
Chorus:
