Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I'm a dead man walking here
That's the least of all my fears
Ooh underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
Gives my trembling hands away
Ooh please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me 'ever I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand
Or that unmarked hundred grand
Ooh underneath the water
Ooh please forgive me father
]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
Walking and walking and walking for miles
Walking and walking and walking for miles
Walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Can't no preacher man save my soul |
