Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers - Blood on the Bluegra** lyrics

Way down south in a Kentuck' town Where all of the stubble fields grow One boy did rise with the devil in his eyes Whose heart was dark as Westfield coal Heart was dark as Westfield coal Roderick Ferrell and the Wendorf girl Knelt down upon a darkened grave He drew his dagger down and the red ran to the ground And they licked along the bloody blade Licked along the bloody blade Blood-red blood on the blue, blue gra** It cries from hallowed hunting ground 'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch That took another poor boy down Took another poor boy down Ridin' in the night down to F-L-A To bid her folks a foul farewell With his claw hammer high he drew their spirits nigh And danced amidst the crimson spray Danced amidst the crimson spray Blood-red blood on the blue, blue gra** It cries from hallowed hunting ground 'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch That took another poor boy down Took another poor boy down Take heed all ye motherless children so lost Dwell not in the caves of your mind Roderick Ferrell's trail of sin did lead him his to his end But bloody fields blossom blue in time Bloody fields blossom blue in time Blood-red blood on the blue, blue gra** It cries from hallowed hunting ground 'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch That took another poor boy down Took another poor boy down Yes, it took another poor boy down
