Verse 3: The ransom of Hagerstown July of '64
Was only 20 thousand, why? Nobody's sure
Compared to the other towns it should have been more
It must have been a zero, must have been a zero,
must have been a zero they shot the year before

Chorus: Hey Little Heiskell it won't be found
Just one zero saved Hagerstown
Hey Little Heiskell it won't be found
Just one zero saved Hagerstown

Verse 4: I've told you a story and no, I have not lied
Hager House stands and Little Heiskell stays inside
Go see the hole where the bullet pierced his pride
But if you see a zero, see a zero
See a zero keep it classified!

Chorus: Hey Little Heiskell it won't be found
Just one zero saved Hagerstown
Hey Little Heiskell it won't be found
Just one zero, just one zero, just one zero
Saved our Hagerstown
