Difficult Creek from Difficult Creek by Dan Webb and the Spiders

One of your sixth great-grandfathers'
Sons was Alexander Gaulding
He was tried for highway robbery
In a court in 1752
And he paid for his crimes
Hung by his neck 'til he died

The deed I saw at the Halifax County
Courthouse had it listed that way
100 acres on the draughts of Difficult Creek
Bought in 1780

Who knows where John Webb was
Before he just showed up

George Carrol Webb was a veteran confederate
Caught a hot one in battle right through his hand
They wanted to take it off at the wrist
But he said leave my thumb so I can plow the land
That was a rough time to live
Hiding bear traps in corn cribs

The Tennessee Supreme Court heard a case
In 1822 that's show as
James Cross v. Woodson Webb
of Wilson County Tennessee
It relates to a debt
Bills come due and we don't forget

Here's your 23-year-old great-grandfather
Buying 4,780 boards
For 19 dollars and 63 cents
At his father Woodson Webb's estate
Maybe he was building
The house down in Rock Springs
