Golden Rope
Fire is the color of my true loves hair
Near to the father sits his golden chair
By prayer and petition to the king on his left
Light is the burden that I bear
O so enchanting are these
Lovely chains that bind you
neath their deadly weight
The lords eye did find you
With fear and tremblin
Before the one with your wounds
Your eyes as empty as my savior tomb
Warm is the breath of his holy spirit
He who has ears to hear let m hear it
Torn were the hands of the worthy lamb
May you know his name and fear it
There you are hangin by the golden rope
There you lie no hope

My Narrow Mind
Wicked, wicked
From the mouth I spout - o lord
Don let these thoughts come out
My knees they knock and my feet they fail
The thoughts I think I see your face turn pale
Take my hand an you will see - the one in the wayback
Take my hand an you will be the one atop the swayback
Your word so pretty
Yes I love that sound
My heart like a hammer does pound
My breath it leaves me to speak it
My legs they tremble to the ground
Wish I was a Bible thumpin fool
Ye from the old school
A mind as narrow as the road I walk
Always upright when I talk but
Take my hand and you will see...

Heel On The Shovel
Im diggin you a shallow grave
An to the sun your face Ill raise
Im diggin you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards buzzin
I seen death hangin from the tallest tree
Eyes closed no lookin back at me
Ye they came an took him in the night
The one who kissed em was greed
O everyone will see
An everyone will know
Boy you reap what you sow
Im diggin you a shallow grave
An on your rotten bones Ill raise
Yellow daisies
For my true loves hair
One hundred buzzards buzzin
I see death runnin from his majesty
O lord where is the fear in me
In between your praying hands
You hold the skeleton key

Harms Way
Here aint nothin that aint in my way
An like the fool I am for my own gain I pray
You say you found, a way back inside my closet
Ol bones upon bones an joints upon sockets
Yep yey
I am an honest man when I aint lying
I am a living man when I commence to dyin
Bring it down bring it down on me
Put me on a high horse so everyone can see
Then kick the nag an leave me be
Swingin from the tree
Listen good people Ill tell you some truth
I got no reason to lie to you
Im as clean as a hounds tooth
I still love the woman of my youth
The lord on my behalf doth pray
Hes with me even in harms way

I Seen What I Saw
I seen ya in your red room laughin
With your shinin coffee can
So many wrongs all kinds a goins on
Held my head an ran
But I hid and did a bit more lookin
Saw ya dancin on the pine porch creakin
Mouth open an doors down wide
Heres what was inside
I seen what I saw
An these things I do are wrong, thats all
An these tales I tales I tell are tall
Then I climbed up on the big horse strapin
Put the spur down to blood
He took off 16 horses strong
Left me lyin in mud
An there I sit until the suns up shinin
Yes an black stands my ride
Twenty hands high
An watchin spookeyed
My hands on his side

Phyllis Ruth
The chill of coffeeville
Shes in those hills still
Kindness of her face so white
The chill of coffeeville
Lord pray it be your will
That she dwell in your house tonight
As one with spirit yes
She goes where it goes
What my little girl sees from the sill
Nobody knows
As one with spirit yeh
She goes where it leads
O boy - thats where my little girl feeds
Should I do - do like you
Look long with swing eyes
An never talk about it
Phyllis ruth
Yeah I should - do as you would
Walk right up to that box of wood
Step up girl

Straight-mouth Stomp
Oh come sit down an give me your word
That Ill be a man someday an Ill hurt
These tremblin (? ) around me
This boy that I am
Its up here for thinkin
And down there for dancin
Not the other way around
Apples in the summertime
Peaches in the fall
I cant keep the girl I got
I cant keep none at all
Nobody knows how I can swing that sway
How I can creep from the narrow
To the broader way
But Ill do no more talkin
Im goin to town
With my true loves breath upon my neck
And my hands on velvet ground
Apples in the summertime
Peaches in the fall

Pure Clob Road
Are you weary my friends
Of my comin round
Draggin my chains cross your floor
You once had a stained glass look in your eye
Well, not any more
The train moves fast
As I walk this track
Carryin sin in my sack
Same in the front as it is in the rear
Hes taken our stripes on his back
On down to here
I cannot walk if you did not walk
I cannot breathe if you did not breathe
Sin in my marrow
Well this road is so narrow
No I cannot walk
This road is pure clob
On down to here
I figured that I would fall
Ye well I left it all
