[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
For eight days in a Grow now, 
I've stood by my Emwindow.
They're coming, I Dknow that 
they're coming for Emme.
I loved a Gwoman, 
but she wasn't Emhuman.
And there's no Duse in 
trying to make 'eEmm see.
[Chorus]
White ash and bGlack ash, 
a sharp edge, a Emstrong back.
I've been a Dbad man, 
and them are the Emfacts.
Got an old leather Gbible 
and a buffalo Emrifle.
There won't be a Dtrial, 
and I know Emthat.
N.C.
[Verse 2]
Down by the Gwater, 
I caught me aEmn otter.
And after I sDhot it, 
I boiled it Emdown.
Hiding for Grope,
tallow for Emsoap,
Put the rest in a pot Dand 
stir it arEmound.
[Chorus]
White ash and bGlack ash, 
a sharp edge, a Emstrong back.
I've been a Dbad man, 
and them are the Emfacts.
Got an old leather Gbible 
and a buffalo Emrifle.
There won't be a Dtrial, 
and I know Emthat.

White ash and black ash, 
N.C.
a sharp edge, a strong back.

I've been a bad man,

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

For eight days in a row now,

I've stood by my window.

They're coming, I know that

they're coming for me.

I loved a woman,

but she wasn't human.

And there's no use in

trying to make 'em see.

[Chorus]

White ash and black ash,

a sharp edge, a strong back.

I've been a bad man,

and them are the facts.

Got an old leather bible

and a buffalo rifle.

There won't be a trial,

and I know that.

N.C.

[Verse 2]

Down by the water,

I caught me an otter.

And after I shot it,

I boiled it down.

Hiding for rope,

tallow for soap,

Put the rest in a pot and

stir it around.

[Chorus]

White ash and black ash,

a sharp edge, a strong back.

I've been a bad man,

and them are the facts.

Got an old leather bible

and a buffalo rifle.

There won't be a trial,

and I know that.

N.C.

[Outro]

N.C.

White ash and black ash,

N.C.

a sharp edge, a strong back.

N.C.

I've been a bad man,

N.C.

and I know that.
