DARKNESS Â SPENCER BOHREN, 1986

Don't let darkness catch you
At the edge of town.
'Cause the men around here,
They ain't playing around.
Men around here,
They ain't playing around.
You better get on home now
Before the sun goes down.

'Round here they shoot them easy
And they hang them high.
Stand around, watch them die.
Shoot them easy,
Lord, they hang them high.
Ain't no tomorrow and no good-bye.

Mississippi River dark and wide.
Trying to get across
To the Arkansas side.
Mississippi River dark and wide.
I'm just trying to make it back,
Back to the Arkansas side.

When the sun comes up
I'll be on that train.
I'm going back
Where they know my name.
Sun come up,
I'll be on that blue, blue train.
I ain't never going back
Across the river again.

Mississippi River dark and wide.
Trying to get across
To the Arkansas side.
Mississippi River dark and wide.
I'm just trying to make it back,
Back to the Arkansas side.
