Hiram Hubbard Lyrics
HIRAM HUBBARD
Come gather round me children and a story I will tell
Come gather round me children and a story I will tell
Concerning poor Hiram Hubbard, and how he came and fell
While traveling through this country in sorrow and distress (2x)
The rebels overhauled him, and in chains they bound him fast
They whopped him up the mountain and they whopped him up the hill
To that place of execution where he begged to write his will
Farewell kind friends and neighbors, likewise my wife and child
I never hurt nobody, but now I'm bound to die
Well they bound the chains around him and they tied him to a tree
Eleven balls went through him and then he sank away
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, I've heard great many say
He was not in this country, he was ninety miles away
