Lyrics by Jon Bach

lyrics

You can bet my bottom dollar
the earth would spring a flower
the day your daddy walks upon my grave

I shot him in the back
now I can't take that back
a bullet signed with love and father time

Woe father time
make me wise
Woe father
close my eyes
Woe father time
make me shine

For marriage I did seek
now red flows through the creek
the current passes through my ragged clothes

Two shining barrels salute the sun
and when he turned his back, I drew my gun

And though it struck him hard
the devil had my card
the firey boughs of hell didn't seem very far

For my beauty in utter grief
grabbed her father's piece
shot me dead right through the head in disbelief

Woe father time
make me wise
Woe father
close my eyes
Woe father time
make me shine
