lyrics

Chorus:
Well/And I told you once and I told you again
I loved you more than the Ozark mountains
I loved you until the end
And I can't believe you buried me without a word to say
If there's a God, I'll meet him later; I've got revenge to pay

When I was young and careless with illusions of time
You came to sit beside me and I spoke to you my mind
I wanted you to marry, and I knew when I first saw
Your handsome face, your charms and grace
And you said, "Come along."

I followed you up mountains, so steep and so high
And crossed down those valleys, though my feet ached and cried
What did you say when I saw your ways, and longed for my life?
"A new dug grave, here, come this way, my silly little bride."

Chorus

Your face fell dark in the pale moonlight
And I could tell now what you held, shining at your side
The frosty tip of your blade to hilt cut straight to my heart
As I bled red, I watched the dead say, "Hey," from the other side.

(Instrumental break)

And from now on, you won't feel at ease
You'll cross your heart around every corner, pray to all the saints on your knees
'Cause now I don't get tired, and I've got no blood to bleed
And you'll do well in a padded cell where you'll belong to me

Chorus
