Deep Down South - Me And That Man

She crushed my bones, cut out my heart

She let it bleed, tore it apart

There was no way to keep the promises we made

Made up my mind and stole a blade

A dagger sharp and I, undignified

I cut her throat and hung her up to dry

Within my grave I lie awake

Entombed in dirt and rattlesnakes

This soil is cold, my coffin’s tight

I hear the train roll on through the night

Gotta find my love and take him down

Revenge is bliss on blood-soiled ground

Behind bars ain’t no place to be

Incarceration will be the death of me

I made my way down to Mexico

Where my guilty face, no one will know

Free as a bird and on my own

Just my cover that won’t be blown

Now deep down south I make my way

I have to make that devil pay

So that our eyes lock one last time

Before our flesh in death entwined

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned

My darling man, you’ll curse the day you were born
