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".

Things to remember when playing this song:

-The guitar is silent during verses.
-Have a friend clap or stomp a marching beat while playing.

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.
