Barton Hollow Lyrics

I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Oh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me everywhere 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?
Oh, underneath the water
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
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me everywhere I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul

I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Oh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me everywhere 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?
Oh, underneath the water
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
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me everywhere I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
