Hellmira
In the state of New York within the Chemung County Line Is the city of Elmira Sitting small neat and fine There you'll wind a women's college and a church steeple high And a prison camp for rebels from a war of days gone by
Whoooah! Hellmira! Hellmira.
There the graycoats starved & languished dying far from home and ken For they'd fought to break the union and to chain the souls of men There boys in blue stood guarding, cold and as heartless as could be As Christ died to make men holy they would kill to make men free
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now the war and all its warriors are buried on the hill But the devil's found Elmira, you will find him waiting still For all sense to be forgotten in the quarrellings of men Raises guns whips and cudgels and he'll feast on souls again
Hellmira's the devil's town He's waiting to drag you down If you march to sin and war You'll join his ranks forever more Hellmira's the devils town
