Tracy Grammer - Laughlin Boy ## NOTE: This song is mostly just a G chord all the way through ## CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: G Have you heard many a story
Told by old and young with Djoy AGbout the faithful deed of daring That was done by the Laughlin boy That was done by the Laughlin boy
Yeah, listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie The Laughlin boy was a boy of honour
And he loved Virginia Dwell GBut he would not fire a rifle So he sat in an cold jail cell So he sat in an cold jail cell
Well, he was pierced and he was beaten
Forty strips he gladly bDore GBut he would not serve the devil In that awful Civil War In that awful Civil War
Yeah, listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Now, twelve grey soldiers stood before him
And they aimed their rifles Dtrue GHe prayed Lord, "Oh please forgive them For they know not what they do For they know not what they do"
Well, those young soldiers would not fire
They defied the General's Dplan GSo the army changed his sentence Who could murder such a man? Who could murder such a man?
Listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie They hauled him far away to Richmond
Far away from his kids and Dwife GThere, pneumonia racked his body That good man soon lost his life That good man soon lost his life
Now his wife is sadly weeping
Seven children wonder Dwhy GLord, it seems that truth and honour Sure can come at an awful price Sure can come at an awful price
Yeah, listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me, children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Oh, have you heard many a story
Told by old and young with Djoy AGbout the fateful deed of daring That was done by the Laughlin boy That was done by the Laughlin boy
Yeah, listen to me children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me, children, well I wouldn't tell a lie Listen to me, children, well I wouldn't tell a lie
Won't you listen to me, children, well I Dwould not Glie
Listen to me, children (listen to me, children) Listen to me, children (listen to me, children) Listen to me, children (listen to me, children) Oh, listen to me, children
