Hatfield’s & McCoy’s
1878 – 1891 American lore
Bitterly feuding – a metaphor
Hatfield’s – West Virginia; the
McCoy’s – Old Kentucky region
Not quite the same anymore.
Both Manny-factured and
sold lightning white, gorilled
in the Un-Civil War
Hatfield’s wore the blue
McCoy’s were Johnny Rebs.
Feud for thought began
as a wedding plan – clans
disagreed, that be about
1873 – but over a hog
Line in the sand – damn!
Tempers escalated after a
Hatfield boy affaired with
the real McCoy girl
Rescue me party ensued
No one got screwed.
1882 came along – McCoy’s
murdered a Hatfield’s son
Was stabbed 26 times
and finished off with
a shot, but not whiskey.
By the end of feud
More than 12 members
died in their boots
Accused stood trial – denial
Descendants signed a truce.
