Barton Hollow
Uh~
Im a dead man walking here
But thats the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
Its not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Uh~
Please forgive me father
Aint going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me eer I go
Wont do me no good washing in the river
Cant no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Uh~
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still cant lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul wont take
Uh~
Im a dead man walking
Im 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
Ohhh
Aint going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me eer I go
Wont do me no good washing in the river
Cant no preacher man save my soul
