Thanks Appalachia Rising for the inspiration!!!
Boone County Blues
The good earth’s children on the mountainside
Marching to bridge that great divide
Some mining minds closed and filled with hate
Lining the pockets of the magistrate
I got the Boone County Blues
Sheriff said turn around
I got the Boone County Blues
Sheriff said turn around
Don’t come down here boy
Trying to stand your ground
The Freedom Fries Folks are picking fights
By denying people of their civil rights
Any irony is lost in translation
Feel like I’m living in a Third World Nation
I got the Boone County Blues
Gonna throw me in jail
I got the Boone County Blues
Gonna throw me in jail
Don’t count on Mother Jones
To post your bail
