The Limeliters - Headin' For The Hills lyrics

We'll sing another song Then we've gotta move along Far away my Sal Please try to understand Why I'm leavin' you Suzanne Like the wind we're headed for the hills (In 1776 men came from all of the 13 colonies to fight for General Washington. Many times the only things they had in common, were the songs they sang and the cause for which they fought.) When brother died at Bunker hill My mother said to me Take your gun and join the men Who fight for liberty Here I sit a waitin' For another British raid I'll drink my barley whiskey And pretend I'm not afraid We'll sing another song Then we've gotta move along Far away my Sal Please try to understand Why I'm leavin' you Suzanne Like the wind we're headed for the hills No one ever told me Where to call my home When I was just a little lad I began to roam Then I heard the musket fire Ringin' loud and clear Saw the red coats up near Terrytown Well I had to volunteer We'll sing another song Then we've gotta move along Far away my Sal Please try to understand Why I'm leavin' you Suzanne Like the wind we're headed for the hills Once I had a little gal We lived outside of town Only had a one room shack And it was fallin' down But the land was all our own It's where my son was born Let's hurry up and end this war It's time to plant my corn We'll sing another song Then we've gotta move along Far away my Sal Please try to understand Why I'm leavin' you Suzanne Like the wind we're headed for the hills When this war is over And our cause is won More men who seek equality Will learn from what we've done We'll send those red coats packin' To drink their bitter tea And we will welcome all who share Our longing to be free We'll sing another song Then we've gotta move along Far away my Sal Please try to understand Why I'm leavin' you Suzanne Like the wind, the wind, the wind we're headed for the hills
