Lyrics

Lyrics by Public domain composition — published under licence.

There stands a dwelling by the bend where muddy waters
run. It's dragged a thousand reckless souls to shame, and
I confess I'm one. My mama patched my faded coat
and stitched my trousers tight. My papa shook the dice
and dealt through every fevered night. A rover asks for
little more than a satchel and a bag, and the
only time he feels at peace is when the liquor's
in his glass. Oh, sister warn your little ones to
never walk my road. For ruin waits where pleasure glows
