Deep Water
Way down below Higdon Creek
I met a man with no shoes on his feet
A Colt in his hand, he peered at me
Said you'd better run boy and not be seen with me
The face he had was one of regret
Said he'd seen too many a young men dead
He killed a few up at Higdon Creek
And tossed 'em in the deep ole water for the fish to eat
'Lest you wanna share the same fate
Man, you should've seen the look on his face
When he said
Deep water, won't you pull me under?
Won't you pull me closer to the end?
Deep water, won't you pull me deeper?
Won't you cleanse my bloody hands?
He knocked me out with one swift punch
Tied me up and drug me through the mud
He took me back to where the others had gone
Then he laid me there beside that creek all alone
And I awoke to the sound of police
He put the Colt barrel between my teeth
I could hear them cops all calling for me
But then he pulled the trigger and that was the end of me
And I said
Deep water, won't you pull me under?
Won't you pull me closer to the end?
Deep water, won't you pull me deeper?
Won't you cleanse my bloody hands?
Deep water, won't you pull me under?
Won't you pull me closer to the end?
Deep water, won't you pull me deeper?
Lord, forgive me of my sins
