The Hatfield Side Lyrics by Cheri Knight

The Northeast Kingdom

1998

[Verse]
We drag our arrows up to the edge of town
All in a line
And through these fields there runs a river
And more like us on the other side
Two towns and a score that we could not settle
So someone stood on the banks and hollered
"Throw me a rope, I'll pull with all my might
For the Hatfield side"
There still ice out there and the water's way too cold, he said
"Some old farmer's gonna die"
So I'll wade in, pull with all your might
For thе Hatfield side
[Chorus]
Dig your Yankee heels into the bony ground
And wе will not be washed away
If they pull us in we would cease to be
And I would never wonder why
[Bridge]
We watched from overhead
Tug of war, gotta go in
We watched from overhead
Few of them were floating
[Verse]
Nobody knows where it all began
If they do, then they ain't sayin'
From where we stand the river's deep and wide
On the Hatfield side
[Chorus]
Dig your Yankee heels into the bony ground
And we will not be washed away
If they pull us in we would cease to be
And I would never wonder why
[Outro]
We vowed very single year to bury the hatchet
But we choose to get out the rope
And it works like a charm
Works like a charm
