Verse:
Sixty years ago, in a little mountain town
About two miles up on Brushy Creek, where the Doe Hill Road came down

Tom Lilly ran a logging camp, in the summer of ‘59
He stayed up on that mountain top, and he worked from dawn 'til night

Now Obi Clark, he lived close by, in a shack on Brushy Creek
He went to see Tom Lilly, he was hoping to work a deal

But Lilly was a hard man, with a tongue as sharp as steel
He called that boy a simple fool, and he left his pride to bleed

Chorus:
Now there’s blood on the mountain
Obie shot the Lillys down
And he left them lying still
Hear the mournful wind a howlin’
Echoing through the night
Like the call of the whip-poor-will

Verse:
Obie had a girl, her name was Mary Lou
But people said Tom Lilly, was sweet on Mary too

The devil entered Obi’s heart, and filled his soul with hate
He made an evil plan that night, that sealed the Lillys fate
