HIRAM HUBBARD



Come gather round me children and a story I will tell

Come gather round me children and a story I will tell

Concerning poor Hiram Hubbard, and how he came and fell



While traveling through this country in sorrow and distress (2x)

The rebels overhauled him, and in chains they bound him fast



They whopped him up the mountain and they whopped him up the hill

To that place of execution where he begged to write his will



Farewell kind friends and neighbors, likewise my wife and child

I never hurt nobody, but now I'm bound to die



Well they bound the chains around him and they tied him to a tree

Eleven balls went through him and then he sank away



Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, I've heard great many say

He was not in this country, he was ninety miles away
