Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was 40 miles away
But they took him 'cross the mountain
And they whomped him on the hill
Yes, they took him on the mountain
And they whomped him on the hill
It was there that he pleaded
Oh, please, let me make my will
But Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was 40 miles away
But they took him down to Danville
And they threw him in jail
Yes, they took him down to Danville
And they threw him in jail
And it was then nobody sought him
Nobody could go his bail
But Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was 40 miles away
But they took him out at midnight
And they strapped him to a tree
Yes, they took him out at midnight
And they strapped him to a tree
It was there that they killed him
With rifle bullets, three
But Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
Lord, I heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was 40 miles away
