| [00:06.59] |
Well, I know that I shouldn't have done it |
| [00:10.82] |
I know that it just wasn't right |
| [00:14.10] |
'Cause they got me backed up to |
| [00:16.12] |
the Cotton Mouth River |
| [00:17.80] |
And I can't cross late at night |
| [00:21.22] |
Yeah, there's lots of stories |
| [00:22.86] |
told about the Cotton Mouth River |
| [00:25.77] |
They tell them time and again |
| [00:28.50] |
About the men who tried to cross |
| [00:30.54] |
that river by moonlight |
| [00:32.46] |
And never were heard from again |
| [00:37.83] |
If I had my life to live over |
| [00:41.34] |
I'd have gone to work that day |
| [00:44.55] |
Instead of goin' into town |
| [00:46.52] |
and shootin' him down |
| [00:48.31] |
For a thing I never heard him say |
| [00:51.76] |

|
| [01:07.76] |
Well, I just made it through the canebrake |
| [01:11.78] |
And I got one foot in the mud |
| [01:15.16] |
I can hear the hounds a-bayin' |
| [01:17.02] |
but the snake around my ankle |
| [01:18.85] |
Is tellin' me my running' days are done |
