He got a nice little lake right inside the grove

Boys you know I like mist Clark yes

When the battle get hot he tell him just what to do

Boys you know I like mist Clark yes

You know he is my friend

He say if I just stay out the grave

He see that I won't go to the pen

He say if I just stay out the grave

Poor John I see you won't go to the pen
