"Hill People" lyrics

The rifle rang out in the still of the night
Two lovers lay dead on the floor
The last thing they heard before she took their lives
"You won't cheat on me anymore"

She ran for the hills where she knew she could hide
Disappeared in the hollers of home
The law never found the jealous young bride
She's out there, but she ain't alone

And they got their own way of living
Ain't afraid to cast the first stone
Well, some folks just have it coming
Hill people take care of their own

Somewhere in the mountains, she cries in the dark
She knows he got what he deserved
'Cause he made a promise, "till death do us part"
And she kept him true to his word

And they got their own way of living
Ain't afraid to cast the first stone
Well, some folks just have it coming
Hill people take care of their own

And they got their own way of living
Ain't afraid to cast the first stone
Well, some folks just have it coming
Hill people take care of their own

Hill people take care of their own
