She was a Hatfield And IĀ Ā a McCoy It was just love beween A girl and a boy
Our daddies grandaddies And those from before Might think us irreverant To open that door
She lived two towns over It was love at first sight.... We would slip out and meet Every Sat. night The neighbors all thought It just wasn't right But we were in love And it wasn't our fight
Only two counties apart She lived in West V My home was Kentucky The suitor was me
To us it was foolish The feud was so old Even though it was famous From the tales that were told
She lived two towns over It was love at first sight.... We would slip out and meet Every Sat. night The neighbors all thought It just wasn't right But we were in love And it wasn't our fight
We'd meet after dark At a barn down the line We were not feuding people For that night she was mine
We would run off together After school was complete We'd change both our names We would be real discreet
She lived two towns over It was love at first sight.... We would slip out and meet Every Sat. night The neighbors all thought It just wasn't right But we were in love And it wasn't our fight
Our folks would reject us And spoil our joy Cause here was a Hatfield With a real McCoy
For now, we'll be secret Share our love cross the fence And we'll wait till our kin folk Wake up with some sense
