Blood on the Bluegrass Lyrics
Alright!
Way down south in a Kentuck town
Where all of the stubble fields grow
One boy did rise with the Devil in his eyes
His heart was dark as Westfield coal
Heart was dark as Westfield coal
Roderrick 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 bluegrass
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
Took another poor boy down
Ridin' the night 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 bluegrass
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the 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
Roderrick Ferrell's trail of sin did lead him to his end
But bloody fields blossom blue in time
Bloody fields blossom blue in time
Blood red blood on the blue bluegrass
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
Took another poor boy down
Yes it took another poor boy down
Where all of the stubble fields grow
One boy did rise with the Devil in his eyes
His heart was dark as Westfield coal
Heart was dark as Westfield coal
Roderrick 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
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
Took another poor boy down
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
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
Took another poor boy down
Dwell not in the caves of your mind
Roderrick Ferrell's trail of sin did lead him to his end
But bloody fields blossom blue in time
Bloody fields blossom blue in time
It cries from hallowed haunting ground
Was the midnight curse of the bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
Took another poor boy down
Yes it took another poor boy down
