Blew the whistle on his own
and now, he’s on the run. Good guys,
good guys, they don’t last in’dis here town.
Gotta bible in his hands, think he’s gonna save
the world, but that day gonna come,

Son plea, daddy don’t go, daddy why you gotta,
where you going? Mama, sitting, drinking crying in’da rain.
What made that man,

and go back home to West Virginia….
THEY’LL STEAL’YO SOUL, OV’AH A LOUSY,
TWO-DOLLAH SAMMISH
