Let the River Speak
04:02

Leave it all behind just to do it again
Just to do it again
Just to do it again
Just to do it again
Feel the fire burn underneath my skin
Leave it all behind just to do it again
Watch the water rise in the valley of gold
Step into the river just to drown my soul
I step into the river just to drown my soul
Keep these eyes fixed on the other side
Shoot em all dead if they step out of line
Take another life, try to earn my wage
Never let the demons climb out of the cage
I never let the demons climb out of the cage
Swim through the blood so thick with sin
To earn a little gold just to do it again
Cut em all down when they look my way
All you lucky sinners kneel down and pray
All you luck sinners kneel down and pray
Let the river speak and pour through my mind
Count all the souls till end of time
Let the sinners sin to help me earn my wage
Lock away the demons let em rot in a cage
I lock away the demons let em rot in a cage
Feel the fire burn underneath my skin
Leave it all behind just to do it again
Leave it all behind just to do it again
Leave it all behind just to do it again
Leave it all behind just to do it again
Just to do it again, just to do it again

The Sickness
03:15
|

Just let me be to walk around
Walk around without a sound
Foolish sinners they chase me down
All them demons, they fly around
Oh sickness don't hold me down
Sickness don't take me now
Sickness don't hold me down
Please don't take me now
Please don't take me now
Stay away, don't get too close
Or help them die, or leave your post
It's here for sinners we love the most
Stay away don't get too close
Oh sickness don't hold me down
Sickness don't take me now
Sickness don't hold me down
Please don't take me now
Please don't take me now
Never will your days be free
Just hide and scream inside you see
Don’t never breath too close to me
Oh that sickness won't let us be
Oh sickness don't hold me down
Sickness don't take me now
Sickness don't hold me down
Please don't take me now
Please don't take me now
Please don't take me now
Please don't take me now
I said please don't take me now

Old Railroad Man

Old railroad man, calluses on his hands
Working fifteen long for fifty cents an hour
Old railroad man now I can see
Why the train keeps rolling
Track after track he’s breaking his back
Working night and day, never takes no break
Old railroad man now I understand
Why the train keeps rolling
Now I want to be a railroad man
I want to be a old railroad man
Now I want to be a railroad man
I just want to be, a railroad man
Old railroad man, money in his hands
Working town to town, sipping whiskey down
Old railroad man now I can see
Why the train keeps rolling
Old railroad man built across this land
Died for you and me, and the world to see
Why oh why, why oh why oh why
The train keeps rolling, and rolling…
And rolling, rolling
And I want to be a railroad man
I want to be a old railroad man
Now I want to be a railroad man
I just want to be, a railroad man
Calluses on my hands
Working fifteen long for fifty cents an hour
Old railroad man I wanna be
Old railroad man I understand
Why the train keeps rolling
And rolling, rolling… rolling… rolling

Catfish Blues
03:42
|

I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I’d have all those pretty ladies
Fishing after me, fishing after me
Then I swam across the river
Just to see my good gal
Then she threw me in the water
She said swim along without me now
Just swim along without me now
I got caught in a net
I couldn’t swim or get away
And then she pulled me from the river
And then she broke my heart that day
Yeah she broke my heart that day
So I swam down to the bottom
Of the deepest darkest hole
Just to weep for those ladies
Who will never catch my soul
Who will never catch my soul
I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I’d have all those pretty ladies
Fishing after me, swimming after me

Gypsy Girl

My gypsy girl she’ll dance all night
She makes me forget what’s wrong from right
She gets me drunk and high as a kite
She makes me feel good all through the night
Oh how I love my gypsy lady
She turns me on and on
It drives me crazy
Her wicked eyes will steal your soul
Slow your mind and make you old
Her lonely heart I love it so
You’ll never forget her eyes you know
Oh how I love my gypsy lady
She turns me on and on
It drives me crazy
Oh how I love my gypsy lady
She turns me on and on
It drives me crazy
She cast a spell deep in my brain
Stole my thoughts and forget my name
But I’m so lucky she keeps me sane
Or I’d get lost everytime it rains
Oh how I love my gypsy lady
She turns me on and on
It drives me crazy
Oh how I love my gypsy lady
She turns me on and on, and on, and on and on…
She drives me crazy

Was driving down the highway
Nothing’s going my way today my friend
I was wondering if she'll ever get her shit together
You say we’re friends
Your feeling nothing
You left us with nothing
I’m fine with nothing, my friend
I was floating down the river wanting to forgive her
To wash away the pain
I was thinking about tomorrow drowning in my sorrow
There’s nothing left to say
Your feeling nothing
You left us with nothing
I’m fine with nothing, my friend
There’s nothing in this maze I’ve found
To keep me sane from town to town
There’s nothing in this maze I’ve found
To keep me sane from town to town
To keep me sane from town to town
From town to town
There’s nothing left to say

In the Rockies
03:49

In the valley, in the Rockies
I left my good gal waiting there
She was alright in the cold night
When I left her lying there
In the Rockies is where my heart lies
I left my good gal waiting there
I left her dying there
We were dancing beneath the stars
Loving that Rocky Mountain high
It was so bright under the moonlight
When I left her dying there
In the Rockies is where my heart lies
I left my good gal waiting there
I left her dying there
In the Rockies is where my heart lies
I left my good gal waiting there
I left her dying there
Where the river meets the mountains
I left her dying there
In the valley the Rockies
Her cold body is rotting there
I left her dying there
I left without a care
In the Rockies is where my heart lies
I left my good gal waiting there
I left her dying there
In the Rockies is where my heart lies
I left my good gal waiting there
I left her dying there
I left without a care

You have reached Tensas State Prison
This is a collect call
To accept the charges, please dial the inmate number now
Please hold for inmate number three three three
Hello, thank you for calling to hear my side of the story…
We don’t have much time before I have to return to my cell
So I will get straight to the point
Let me tell you a story about the time I had
I was own in Louisiana as a Cajun Lad
I was running from the cops trying to make ends meet
Was dealing dirty water down on bourbon street
In baton rouge there was a girl who looked real mean
Little did I know she was a voodoo queen
I took her home that night to cast a spell
I woke up in the morning, she looked like hell
Cajun saint on the run
Mississippi River here I come
Cajun saint on the run
I’ll be home when I’m done
Deep in the swamp where I lost my mind
There stood a log cabin that they couldn’t find
I was buried like a crawfish underneath the mud
Then down came the rain, it started a flood
I floated down the river to see my queen
She was dealing dirty water down in New Orleans
Little did I know that queen of mine
Had the cops waiting for me at the parish line
Cajun saint on the run
Mississippi River here I come
Cajun saint on the run
I’ll be home when I’m done
The last time I saw that voodoo queen
She said you better watch your back in New Orleans
A long story short I’m still on the run
I’m bridges going crazy over what I’ve done
I hope you wrote all of this down
Cajun saint on the run
Mississippi River here I come
Cajun saint on the run
I’ll be home when I’m done
Please, just make sure everyone knows the truth
I’ll be home when I’m done
I’ve got to go now, good bye
When the saints come marching in
I’ll be home again
When the saints come marching in
I’ll be home again
When the saints come marching in
I’ll be home again, I’m coming home

Funeral March

Forward March
March along and come with me
Fight for love and all we see
Take their souls and make your stand
Through the mud across this land
Through the mud across this land
Take their eyes, but leave their tongues
Let them speak of what we’ve done
Leave their sons to watch them cry
Take their gold and take their eyes
Take their gold and take their eyes
The sound of peace is never free
March along and come with me
The sound of peace is never free
Follow truth now follow me
Follow truth now follow me
Bodies plague this fertile ground
Shallow graves from town to town
Say and prayer and sing this song
Til we are done and they are gone
Til we are done and they are gone
Take the truth and set them free
Spill their blood into the sea
March along and come with me
Onward east till we are free
Onward east till we are free
Onward east till we are free
The sound of peace is never free
March along and come with me
The sound of peace is never free
Follow truth now follow me
Follow truth now follow me
March along and come with me
Follow truth, now follow me

Revelation Hymn
03:27
|

Can you hear that sound skipping through my brain
Twisting every thought around, please tell me your name
I don’t know who you are, or where on earth you’ve
Your voice is like an angel from a revelation hymn
Why don’t you stand, stand up and fight
Step out of my mind, step into the light
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Can you hear their souls all of the pain inside
Voices buried deep and all the sins they hide
I don’t know who they are or where on earth they’ve been
I can hear the trumpets calling like a revelation hymn
Why don’t you stand, stand up and fight
Step out of my mind, step into the light
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Are you the reaper, is this my time
I know your God, he’s no God of mine
Can you hear that sound skipping through my brain
Twisting every thought around, please tell me your name
