I'm a dead man walking here
|
But that's the least of all my fears
|
Ooh, underneath the water
|
|
It's not Alabama clay
|
That gives my trembling hands away
|
Please forgive me father
|
|
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
|
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
|
Won't do me no good washing in the river
|
Can't no preacher man save my soul
|
|
Did that full moon force my hand?
|
Or that un marked hundred grand?
|
Ooh, underneath the water
|
Please forgive me father
|
|
Miles and miles in my bare feet
|
Still can't lay me down to sleep
|
If I die before I wake
|
I know the Lord my soul won't take
|
|
I'm a dead man walking
|
I'm a dead man walking
|
|
Keep walking and running and running for miles
|
Keep walking and running and running for miles
|
Keep walking and running and running for miles
|
|
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
|
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
|
Won't do me no good washing in the river
|
Can't no preacher man save my soul
|
