Lyrics:
16 kids 16 waysThey shot my babies by mistakeIm all alone on a midnight rideMy 16 kids all have diedThey aint coming backIts too lateThey shot my babies butThey killed my faithI havent slept in 14 daysNow its time to barricadeMyself in these four wallsMy 16 kids all are goneI worked so hard for 40 yearsI told myself I had nothing to fearThen one by one they got shot downThe youngest one held a gun to his ear
