Tar-Heel Boy

Stephin Merritt

Tar-heel boy sings a song
Bout a girl who ain't comin' home
By n by, by n by
By n by, by n by

She worked too long in the mill
She's gone to those rolling hills
In the sky, in the sky
In the sky, in the sky

We're barely off Mama's milk
And we're locked in here weavin' silk
We can't buy, we can't buy
We can't buy, we can't buy

While you been off in Oregon
I been drinkin' here all alone
All night long, all day long
All night long, all day long

They shot a nine-year-old boy
For a hundred dollars
