I just got back from a Scott Miller 
performance at Rhythm and Roots.
While there, I met him and told him 
that I transposed this from the 
fiddle
to the guitar. He asked me show him,
 so I did. He responded that it was
"very good" and "sounds perfect".

Verse 1:
I am a Highland County boy, William 
is my name.
I've farmed those rocky hills 
before, the Jackson is the James.
Well, my brothers they all joined 
the cause but I was left behind
too old to hold in Momma's arms and 
much to frail to fight.
I remember the day they marched 
away, they sang down Richmond Road.
Ol' Lincoln's bound, like ol' John 
Brown, for the long end of a rope.
