jackson harrison - the ballad of abner hammond lyrics
three centuries ago
i was born in rebel times
shot a couple redcoats in raleigh
though it was still considered a crime
and i died in a creek in high tide
thought i’d be with jesus by now
but they won’t let me free my slaves
from three century old graves
secretary of state
went away to seashore
and while on health holiday
mr. troup changed my locks
and i tried to get back in through lawsuits
that i’d win with acumen and wit
and with the help of of my house slaves
who i need to free today
had a big plantation
miles from the capital
milledgeville near the floral greenway
is where i would like to stay
and my horse fled from the shore of my corpse
and into the arms of my wife who cried
but she still kept all my slaves
then buried them in a mass grave
and i try to reach through to the other side
and beg them with belated cries of sin
but they won’t let me free my slaves
from three hundred year old graves
