lyrics

I ain't going back to Barton Hollow

I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Oh, oh
Underneath the water

It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Oh, oh
Please forgive me father

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow

Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that unmarked hundred grand?
Oh, oh
Underneath the water
Oh, oh
Please forgive me father

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul

Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take

I'm a dead man walking, I'm a dead man walking here
Keep walking, running, running for miles
Keep walking, running, running for miles
Keep walking, running, running for miles

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in that river
Can't no preacher man save my soul

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
