|
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep |
|
Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made |
|
The Devil's come to take your boy away |
|
I've been spotted on the run |
|
I'll be waitin when they come |
|
Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made |
|
I was born a poor man's only son |
|
It ain't my fault I grew up on the run |
|
I did my time as a working man |
|
Fate kept blood stains on my hand |
|
I was born a poor man's only son |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep |
|
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep |
|
Said brother when you lay me down |
|
Down beneath the cold hard ground |
|
You better put me ten miles deep |
|
I keep my pistol by my head at night |
|
Lordy I can't seen to do no right |
|
My hometown, they know my name |
|
Killed the man and won I my fame |
|
Keep my pistol by my head at night |
|
When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep |
|
When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep |
|
I knew it when they shot me down |
|
Felt the flames from underground |
|
When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep |
|
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep |
|
Said brother when you lay me down |
|
Down beneath the cold hard ground |
|
You better put me ten miles deep |
|
Said brother when you lay me down |
|
Down beneath the cold hard ground |
|
You better put me ten miles deep |
