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 aint 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
|
