Hail Columbia! Lyrics by American Murder Song

Murder Ballads of 1816: The Year Without a Summer

2016

Tho' mine eyes are seeing double
And my powder horn is drunk
Another public house a puddle
Where the bones and barrels sunk
And my left leg isn't working
As the barkeep fills with mud
And the bison head is smirking
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
O Mother Columbia!
Take us in your breast
Thy blinding scarlet stars
Ever spilling West
O Mother Columbia!
Snow is red and wet
Where's the goddamn bar?
There's killing in me yet
Tho' mine eyes are seeing double
And my powder horn is drunk
Another public house a puddle
Where the bones and barrels sunk
And my left leg isn't working
As the barkeep fills with mud
And the bison head is smirking
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
O Mother Columbia!
Take us in your breast
Thy blinding scarlet stars
Ever spilling West
O Mother Columbia!
Snow is red and wet
Where's the goddamn bar?
There's killing in me yet
Tho' mine eyes are seeing double
And my powder horn is drunk
Another public house a puddle
Where the bones and barrels sunk
And my left leg isn't working
As the barkeep fills with mud
And the bison head is smirking
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
Barley, Liberty, and Blood
O Mother Columbia!
Take us in your breast
Thy blinding scarlet stars
Ever spilling West
O Mother Columbia!
Snow is red and wet
Where's the goddamn bar?
Where's the goddamn bar?
O Mother Columbia!
Take us in your breast
Thy blinding scarlet stars
Ever spilling West
O Mother Columbia!
Snow is red and wet
Where's the goddamn bar?
There's killing in me yet
