verse 1G
I got a little story that I'd like to tell
DG
about a boy named bishop, who lived atop this hill
people called him a slow boy, said he weren't all there
DE
but he never harmed none, no, he wouldn't dare
Bridge 1CG
but when the neighbor's daughter said the child was his
DE
well, the people turned then and wanted blood for his sins
CG
bishop tried to tell them that none had shared his bed
DG
but the words escaped him; he found tears instead
verse 2G
well his father begged then for him to bend his knee
DG
that they might be lenient, in time would set him free
but the boy just stood there with a steady gaze
DE
and said they'd have to break him, 'cause bending weren't his way
Bridge 2 CG
so they came and took him, and dragged him off in chains
DE
and with the town as witness, he was forced to pay
CG
it weren't 'til he was gone that the girl cleared his name
DG
and now his ghost still haunts us to this very day
Outro
