It was just a little while past the sunset strip |
| [00:09.27] |
They found the girl's body in an open pit |
| [00:12.82] |
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide |
| [00:15.95] |
Gazing through the fog to the other side |
| [00:19.11] |
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail |
| [00:21.86] |
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail |
| [00:24.82] |
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall |
| [00:27.88] |
Remembering the music of my lover's call |
| [00:37.03] |
So you make no mistake |
| [00:38.58][01:39.76] |
I know just what it takes |
| [00:39.75][01:41.27] |
To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates |
| [00:42.99][01:43.88] |
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin |
| [00:46.23][01:46.87] |
But they say it's never too late to start again |
| [00:49.11][00:55.19][01:50.20][01:56.18][02:39.63][02:45.19][02:51.54][02:56.99] |
Oh when, oh when |
| [00:52.31][02:42.80] |
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin |
| [00:58.31][01:58.93][02:47.88] |
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again? |
| [01:13.72] |
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three |
| [01:16.51] |
When the warden with his key came to set me free |
| [01:19.30] |
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit |
| [01:22.17] |
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute |
| [01:24.99] |
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande |
| [01:27.83] |
And I shot a man down on the edge of town |
| [01:30.55] |
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around |
| [01:33.87] |
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down |
| [01:38.43] |
He said, you make no mistake |
| [01:53.00] |
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin |
| [02:14.29] |
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song |
| [02:16.82] |
So I took the first train up to Oregon |
| [02:19.91] |
And I killed the first man that I came upon |
| [02:22.85] |
Because the devil works quick, you know it don't take long |
| [02:27.74] |
Then I went to the river ford to take a swim |
| [02:30.12] |
You know that black river water is as black as sin |
| [02:32.95] |
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe |
| [02:36.06] |
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade |
| [02:54.00] |
Will that black river water wash me clean again |
| [02:59.80] |
Will thee keys to the kingdom be mine again |
