Testi

[Verse 1]
Yeah, it's way up the Black Hills where we come from
There's a girl and she warned me, don't pick up that gun, gun
Oh, by the law of the land
By the promise that might is right
She would hold me and cry, "Don't you go off to fight"
[Verse 2]
Somebody knocking at my door
Oh, I've been called to war
Say goodbye to Tobacco Road
Wear my colors, call my brothers
And for my country, I'll go
[Verse 3]
Down on Hell's half acre, and again
Shaking with fever, come again
Rumble in the jungle
Oh, down on Hell's half acre again
[Verse 4]
Oh, she wrote me in a letter, said "What have they done?"
Oh, enough
Placed a crown of thorns on this Native son now, now
Ooh, oh, maybe they're right
Oh, but maybe they're wrong
OH, but what can I do?
You're not here, but you're gone
[Verse 5]
Something in the air is much too quiet
Hear my heartbeat, oh
The storm that rages from within
Three times thunder, blood runs cold
Got this wound on my soul
[Verse 6]
Down on old Hell's half acre, and again
Walking on fire, come again
Trouble in the wasteland
Oh, down on Hell's half acre, and again
[Verse 7]
Oh, back in the land where the buffalo roam
Oh, is this my home?
She said, "You've changed, you're not the same"
Clouds of napalm and the opium
The damage was already done
[Verse 8]
Down on Hell's half acre, and again
Shaking with fever, and again
Rumble in the jungle
Oh, down on Hell's half acre
[Verse 9]
Oh, Hell's half acre
Walking on fire
We got trouble in the wasteland
Ow, there on Hell's half acre again
