The Lyrics
Oh little house on Rockingham,
What ghosts within thee lie!
For back in 1994, two folks that you know died
Is there justice in America?
Depends on who you are--
And whether or not your lawyers are a team of superstars
Oh little house on Rockingham,
Now haunted by the past
Your bloody sidewalks are cleaned up, but memories do last
Now screams the wind at midnight
Through your strong, ironclad gates
Two people back in '94 met their awful fate
How violently, how violently the final blows were given
And now upon the golfing green
Another ball is driven
The 18th hole is challenging
Oh, what a spot of fun
And we'll go in and have a beer
As soon as we are done
Oh wretched house on Rockingham
You know the truth, oh yes
And ghosts within you never will
Be finding any rest
The morning stars together
proclaim a killer's free
And we'd be doing 80 years if it was you or me
What ghosts within thee lie!
For back in 1994, two folks that you know died
Is there justice in America?
Depends on who you are--
And whether or not your lawyers are a team of superstars
Oh little house on Rockingham,
Now haunted by the past
Your bloody sidewalks are cleaned up, but memories do last
Now screams the wind at midnight
Through your strong, ironclad gates
Two people back in '94 met their awful fate
How violently, how violently the final blows were given
And now upon the golfing green
Another ball is driven
The 18th hole is challenging
Oh, what a spot of fun
And we'll go in and have a beer
As soon as we are done
Oh wretched house on Rockingham
You know the truth, oh yes
And ghosts within you never will
Be finding any rest
The morning stars together
proclaim a killer's free
And we'd be doing 80 years if it was you or me
