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