Walkin' down an Alabama road
|
Rememberin' what the Bible told
|
D G D Am
|
Walkin' with a letter in his hand
|
D G D Am
|
Dreaming of another southern land
|
Am
|
Walkin' down an Alabama road
|
|
And he went by the name of William Moore
|
Now what are you doing William Moore
|
D G Am
|
Why the letter in your hand?
|
D G Am
|
There's only one southern land
|
And he went by the name of William Moore
|

What price the glory of one man?

What price the hopes,

What price the dreams,

C F G C
|
And what price the glory of one man?
|
|
Remembering what his grandfather done
|
Fought for the south in '61
|
A hundred years have passed by since then
|
Now Moore is fighting for the south again
|
Remembering what his grandfather done
|
|
Remembering the time in World War Two
|
And the South Pacific Island that he knew
|
Remembering the young men that he killed
|
And the praying that the guns of hate be stilled
|
Remembering the time in World War Two
|
|
What price the glory of one man?
|
What price the glory of one man?
|
What price the hopes,
|
What price the dreams,
|
And what price the glory of one man?
|
|
And they shot him on the Alabama road
|
Forgot about what the Bible told
|
They shot him with that letter in his hand
|
As though he were a dog and not a man
|
And they shot him on the Alabama road
|
|
Did you say it was a shame when he died?
|
Did you say he was fool because he tried?
|
Did you wonder who had fired the gun?
|
Did you know that it was you who fired the gun?
|
Did you say it was a shame when he died?
|
|
What price the glory of one man?
|
What price the glory of one man?
|
What price the hopes,
|
What price the dreams,
|
And what price the glory of one man?
