lyrics

Mama had a baby and her head popped off
Mama had a baby and her head popped off
Someone call a doctor 'fore her mind gets lost
So sad to see ya’ go, so sorry that’s your lot

Daddy doubled over when his son got shot
Daddy doubled over when his son got shot
Cried out for help but don't like what he got
Lightin' up the night like a red hot spark

O well
Oh hell
You just can't tell
Rollin’ bones in a cold dead well

O well
Oh hell
Here’s another dry thorn for your crown
Another harsh word for his spell

Sister had a brother in the 12 year war
Sister had a brother in the 12 year war
Prayed every night ‘please watch over him Lord’
Lit a candle cuz he won’t be coming home no more

Evil close around you like a hit man’s twine
Evil want to get you comin’ up from behind
Let it all fall away, ‘cuz all you got is time
Don’t never give in, just let your little light shine

O well
You say it’s hell
but you just can’t tell
Hear the toll of the old brass bell

You just can’t tell…

everybody knows…

What’cha gonna do?

Water wears down stone
don’t go out alone
