Lyrics:

16 kids 16 ways
They shot my babies by mistake
I'm all alone on a midnight ride
My 16 kids all have died
Chorus
They ain't coming back
It's too late
They shot my babies but
They killed my faith
I haven't slept in 14 days
Now it's time to barricade
Myself in these four walls
My 16 kids all are gone
Chorus
I worked so hard for 40 years
I told myself I had nothing to fear
Then one by one they got shot down
The youngest one held a gun to his ear
Chorus
