DEAD MAN SONG

And when I came back from the hunt
‘see my good wife lying on the ground
Behind my blood tears , I heard a shot gun
Oh the white men they were burning my hometown

And I say no oh oh
There is no Lord oh oh
Who could protect me under this bloody moon
Oh no oh oh
I just have to run
There is no Lord not far away from home
And me I got nothing
I ain’t got no horse
He left before me, the woods save his soul
I had to run far away for home
And here begun my freewhelin’ fall


In the big city, there was this man
He gave me money , while I traced circles in the sand
He said to me : “when you’ve been knock out
You know a man’s best friend is a gun and he laughed”

And so it came on my wife death birthday
I killed a shadow, I killed a man
I ran ran ran, I ran ran ran
I had no blessings on my own
