Down by the Mississippi, in the mud Is a five page oath and a of wine It's engraved in steel, written in blood As far as I can tell, the blood is I swear and I cry, "I can't let secret down!" But best to let things lie buried in the ground
Up in the canyon's little ledge Is my twisted brain and a crying a box of lightning, there's a box of lead But a pail of hope next to my bottle of pain
if the sun goes down Amazing grace I have found 'Cause I time to resolve this feud If I don't time I might shoot
It's my great granddaddy and my kin fell hell bent towards you and you against him I don't you'd better ask them I know why, I don't know how I just on the tradition
Gov'ner if I am so crazy as to this here gun Oh Lord in Heaven have on this one Mother, and hate have made me blind I carry on, my neighbor, I don't even why
here in the saddle bag, my grandma's gold I ride to dawn on my lightning It's just like a story that's always been It's like I don't need a reason and like I don't even
I and I cry, "I can't let this secret down!" But best to let it lie buried in the ground
Gov'ner you must It's the family name that makes me blind Oh God, brainwash me, scold me too If I forgive, or at least forget I continue with this feud Continue this feud like a cartoon It's a family feud And as I end tune I continue with the feud?
