Oooooo, ooooo, oooooo
Oooooo, ooooo, oooooo
I'm a dead man walking here
That's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
Gives my trembling hands away
Ooh, please forgive me, father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me 'ever I go
Won't do me no good,
washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Oooooo, ooooo, oooooo
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that unmarked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Ooh, please forgive me, father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord, my soul won't
take
Ooh, ooh
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
You keep
walking, running, running for miles
Keep
walking, running, running for miles
Keep
walking, running, running for miles oooh
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me 'ever I go
Won't do me no good,
washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
