about

Written for Diana of England and her oldest child. The voice of the English people in the spirit of ancient English ballads from which so much of what I do springs. Filtered through a kinda Appalachian Hatfield&McCoy perspective. Looking for the truth&diginity of radical change based on love.

lyrics

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

Your grandma's got the land
She don't want you to go
Hear she's got good reason
That's what they tell me so

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

Your mama was an angel
She fixed my broken heart
Your papa and her it's sad
But they had to part

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

Don't be scared of the dark
Tho' she died in the night
Remember how her eyes yeah
Fill you with morning light

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Your papa's got it right
He's gonna have ya go
Hear he is a good man
That's what they tell me so

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

William I'll be watchin'
From yonder hill
Life is this twisting thing
That I ponder still

William young William
Go down to your mama's grave
William oh William
You gotta lay your claim

William oh William
Walkin' to your mama's grave
William oh William
You're a man today

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
