Lyrics
Side By Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There stood a house upon the hill
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo belah belay.
And in this house eight men did dwell
Hullabaloo belay.
One stood up and shook his fist...
"I'll get stronger than the rest"...
He first began to cheat and steal...
He then set fire to their fields...
They turned their heads and let him be...
Then he upped and murdered three...
It made no difference where he stood...
He left a footprint red with blood...
He murdered three and wanted more...
He turned upon the other four...
But when this murder he did try...
He found them standing side by side...
Side by side they fought that day...
They left his bones to rot away...
This is the ending of my song...
One was weak but four were strong...
