Well he came from Northern Ireland 
          Am                 C 
Searching for the free man's ground 
  Am                 C 
And he came to bet his fortune 
      G              Am 
On a West Virginia plow

He built a house of timber 
     Am              C 
And raised a redhead son 
           Am             C 
Then they worked the land together 
    G                     Am 
And prayed the rain would come
[Refrão]
           F               C 
There's a scarecrow in the garden 
     G          Am 
That looks like Lucifer 
              F              Am 
And I've been reading Revelations 
        G                Am 
With my bare feet in the dirt

         Am                C 
Well the redhead's son got older 
    Am                C 
And took a brown eyed wife 
         Am                  C 
And the fields were green as dollars 
          G                 Am 
Cause the dirt was black as night

  Am           C 
I came in late September 
    Am              C 
The youngest one of three 
       Am              C 
And my sisters off and married 
       G                Am 
So the land was left to me
[Refrão]
           F               C 
There's a scarecrow in the garden 
     G          Am 
That looks like Lucifer 
              F              Am 
And I've been reading Revelations 
        G                Am 
With my bare feet in the dirt
[Estrofe]
  G 
I know every single fencepost 
      F              Am 
Every rock that goes around 
          G 
I've been staring at the red oak 
        F                   Am 
Where I know they'll lay me down
[Estrofe]
    Am                          C 
The fields ain't what they once were 
    Am                 C 
The rains just seem to flood 
              Am                  C 
And I've been thinking about that river 
          G                Am 
Wondering how it turned to blood
[Outro]
          Am               C 
I've been sitting here all morning 
      Am               C 
I was sitting here all night 
          Am               C 
There's a bible in my left hand 
      G            Am 
And a pistol in my right
