Select language to translate this lyric
Have you walked 200 miles
with no shoes upon your feet
i have, i have
from the Appomattox courthouse
to Eastern TN
i have, i have
Have you seen a city burn
late one april night
i have, i have
i've seen richmond going down
giving up the fight
i have, i have
I've been there through it all
i've seen it rise i've seen it fall
i'm tired to the bone
all i want now is to go back home
Have you watched your best friend fall
charching up a ridge
i have, i have
on the Hatchie River
out by Davis bridge
i have, i have
Have you had to kill your neighbor
just so you could live
i have, i have
brother fighting brother
praying God will forgive
i have, i have
