A                               D                 A
Up Falling Rock Hill where the leaves swoop like bats
A                              D            A
I shot my brother William five times in the back
A                              D           A
"Have mercy, have mercy, dear brother" he cried
A                             D            A
But the wind had no mercy and neither did I
E                            D           A
I watched as his blood ran through dead grass
E                                   D            A
I watched as the black ants crawled through his hands
A                        D            A
Up falling Rock Hill the wind softly moaned
A                          D            A
And down, down came I with blood on my clothes
E                            D            A
Cicadas were hissing and the whippoorwill called
A                                 D           A
But the earth didn't open and the sky didn't fall

A                            D            A
Round falling rock hill, the wind softly moans
A                                    D             A
And black ants they crawl 'cross my dear brothers bones
E               D          A
Wine red roses tangle the grass
A                                D           A
Where William, sweet William his blood once ran
A                         D               A
Through the dead leaves I walked on till one
A                          D               A
And wherever I stepped the black creatures run
E                            D             A
Cicadas were hissing and the whippoorwill calls
A                                   D          A
But the earth doesn't open and the sky doesn't fall
A                              D            A
The earth doesn't open and the sky doesn't fall.
