[Verse]
DI'm a dead man walking here
DBut that's the least of all my fears
DOoh, underneath the water
[Verse]
DIt's not Alabama clay
DThat gives my trembling hands away
DPlease forgive me father
[Chorus]
DAin't going back to Barton Hollow
DDevil gonna follow me e'er I go
DWon't do me no good washing in the river
DCan't no preacher man save my - soul
[Verse]
DDid that full moon force my hand?
DOr that un marked hundred grand?
DOoh - underneath the water
DPlease - forgive me father
