lie down lie down
they say the devil’s comin round
all wicked men are gonna hang
it’s the law of the land
there’s a bounty on my head
and I hear him comin for me
I was drunk, it was dark
when I stabbed you right through the heart
I felt the wind, I felt the rain
I felt a chill down in my veins
there was black there was red
a feeling of dread
in those tears that were shed
no one ever knows
what darkness can hold
there ain’t no salvation in regret
chorus:
lie down lie down
they say the devil’s comin round
pray that he doesn’t come for me
he’s the law of the land
there’s a sixgun in his hand
lord, will I ever be set free?
I was born, a bastard son
like my mom, I had no love
my troubled life is all I had
only shame, pain and regret
there was black there was red
a feeling of dread
now I face the law of the land
in black and white
no question that night
there ain’t no raisin’ the dead
chorus
lie down lie down
they say the devil’s comin round
all wicked men are gonna hang
it’s the law of the land
there’s a bounty on my head
and I hear him comin for me
