Blood On The Bluegrass Lyrics

Way down south in a Ken-Tuck town, where
all of the stubblefields grow.
One boy did rise with the devil in his eyes
whose heart was dark as West Field coal,
heart was dark as West Field 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 grass
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 clawhammer high he drew their
spirits nigh,
and danced amidst the crimson spray, danced amidst the crimson spray.

Blood, red blood on the blue, blue grass.
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 trails 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 grass
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.
