Lyrics

Col. William Scott Dilworth

The year was 1822, a little lady was turning blue
pushin real hard and out he came
william scott dilworth, was his name.

times back then were just brand new,
living life was tough to chew.
startin out young with a plow in his hand
william scott dilworth, grew corn in sand.

the year was 1865, Williams momma wasnt alive
The United States were under fire
Col. Dilworth, had troops to inspire.


the north and the south had parted ways,
raging war was a normal day.
out in the fields with a gun in his hand,
Col. Dilworth, was way outmanned.

he told his troops to run for the hills,
he stayed behind and made some kills.
before he knew it, he was on the ground
a yankee bullet, had mowed him down

Col. Dilworth was a mortal man
his story had grown across the land
the yankee generals were amazed
Col. Dilworth, was always praised.


the year was 1869, september winds were feeling fine
battle scars and a bullet wound
Col. William Scott Dilworth, had died at noon.
