Among The Oak & Ash

Hiram Hubbard

Come all your friends and neighbors
a story I will tell
Come all you friends and neighbors
a story I will tell
Concerning high room hopper in the way in which he fell

While travelling through this country in sorrow and distress
While travelling through this country in sorrow and distress
The sheriff caught up to him and embraced him under arrest

Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
I heard a great man he said
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
I heard a great man he said

He was not in this country
He was not in this country he was 16 miles away

They lead him up the holler
They lead him up the hill
They lead him up the holler

They lead him up the hill
To a place of execution
Where he takes to write his will

They wound up the courts around him
They bound him to a tree
They wound the courts around him
They bound him to a tree
Nine shots rang through him
He died most bitterly

Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
I heard a great man he said
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
I heard a great man he said

He wasn't in this country
He was 16 miles away
