paroles de chanson Sweet Lips (Battle of King's Mountain) - Grandpa Jones
It
was
back
in
'81,
that
a
man
named
Washington
Put
fighting
hard
for
freedom
in
this
land
But
his
men
were
poor
and
ragged
and
against
the
British
gun
Well
he
didn't
even
dare
to
make
a
stand
Old
Ferguson
was
marching
toward
the
Carolina
hills
Making
brags,
saying
"Hang
a
man
to
every
tree"
But
the
news
that
he
was
coming
raced
across
the
mountaintop
And
they
heard
about
it
over
in
Tennessee
At
the
shuls
of
old
Watauga,
where
the
sycamores
grow
tall
They
rallied
around
old
Nolichucky
Jack
And
they
said
they
"We'll
drive
the
redcoats
back
across
the
briny
deep
Yes,
we'll
lick
'em
hard,
we're
never
comin'
back"
There
was
'Chucky
Jack
and
Campbell
Colonel
Shelby
and
their
band
Mountaineers
who
loved
their
liberty
Then
a
lovesick
boy
named
Gilliam
with
a
brand-new
rifle
gun,
Named
for
his
girl
in
Tennessee
Sweet
Lips,
blows
the
rifle
Named
for
a
girl
in
Tennessee
When
Sweet
Lips
spoke,
the
chains
about
it
broke
She
struck
a
mighty
blow
for
liberty
When
they
rode
across
the
mountain,
toward
the
Carolina
soil
The
tarheels
with
the
muskets
gathered
'round
To
go
and
head
off
Ferguson
before
he
got
to
them
To
hang
'em
all
and
burn
the
houses
down
When
Ferguson
heard
the
mountain
men
were
camping
on
his
trail,
He
first
began
to
laugh
and
then
to
scoff
He
said,
"We'll
go
up
on
King's
Mountain,
and
then
let
the
rebels
come"
"For
the
powers
of
hell
will
never
drive
me
off"
But
Campbell
and
Ben
Cleveland,
Colonel
Shelby
and
their
men
Had
knowledge
of
old
Nolichucky
Jack
Well,
they
loaded
up
their
rifles
and
they
combed
the
mountainside
Said,
"We'll
lick
'em
hard,
we're
never
coming
back"
Oh,
he
blew
his
silver
whistle,
and
he
shouted,
and
he
cursed
"Use
your
'vantage
to
drive
the
rebels
back!"
But
the
redcoats
never
made
it,
for
before
they
reached
the
line
The
mountain
rifle
jumped
them
in
their
tracks
Sweet
Lips,
blows
the
rifle
Named
for
a
girl
in
Tennessee
When
Sweet
Lips
spoke,
the
chains
about
it
broke
She
struck
a
mighty
blow
for
liberty
Old
Ferguson
was
dashing
up
and
down
the
battlefield
And
it
seemed
that
he
must
lead
a
life
of
charm
For
the
mountaineers
were
aiming
at
his
gaudy
checkered
coat
But
their
bullets
passed
him
by
and
did
no
harm
Then
up
stepped
young
John
Gilliam
with
his
brand-new
rifle
gun
"Named
for
his
girl
back
home",
he
said
"Well,
I
wonder
what
Sweet
Lips
can
do",
and
he
when
he
took
his
aim
Sweet
Lips
spoke,
and
Ferguson
fell
dead
Cornwallis
heard
that
Ferguson
and
all
his
men
were
lost
And
he
said,
"This
place
is
just
too
hot
for
me"
So
he
soon
went
onto
Yorktown,
where
he
laid
his
weapons
down
And
ever
since
this
country
has
been
free
Sweet
Lips,
blows
the
rifle
Named
for
a
girl
in
Tennessee
When
Sweet
Lips
spoke,
the
chains
about
it
broke
She
sure
did
did
her
part
for
liberty
