High
some say he was a good man
some say that's a lie
they all agree he was sitting on a mountain
and the mountain was high
some say he's some kind of hero
others say he ain't
one thing i know for sure
he'll never be a saint
they came over the ocean
they came across the sea
if they could all walk upon the water
it wouldn't much matter to me
some to count the silver
some to watch him die
it don't make much difference to me
they all hang you just as high
so high so high
ol man can you hear them coming
coming from so many miles away
some come to count your silver
others to count your days
they came over the ocean
they came across the sea
if they could all walk upon the water
it wouldn't much matter to me
some to count your silver
some to watch you die
it doesn't make much difference to me
they all hang you just as high
so high so high
oh lord have mercy
take whatever they can find
can you spare a little peace of mind
coming for the silver
you know they want that gold
time to fly time to leave it all behind
they're coming over the ocean
they come cross the sea
if they could all walk around the world
it wouldn't much matter to me
some to count the silver
some to watch you die
it don't make much difference to me
they all hang you just as high
so high its high time to fly
they're coming over the ocean
just to watch you die
come to climb to climb a mountain
and the mountain is high
they're coming from the valley
and the valley is low
coming for your silver they're coming
they're coming for your gold
hey! hey! hey!
some say that's a lie
they all agree he was sitting on a mountain
and the mountain was high
some say he's some kind of hero
others say he ain't
one thing i know for sure
he'll never be a saint
they came over the ocean
they came across the sea
if they could all walk upon the water
it wouldn't much matter to me
some to count the silver
some to watch him die
it don't make much difference to me
they all hang you just as high
so high so high
ol man can you hear them coming

coming for your silver they're coming
they're coming for your gold
hey! hey! hey!
