Oh, well we run to the break of day The old man groaned as we rolled away Our women wept as we sped on by We hung our heads low as they raised their flags high Then we grabbed our guns and shot away He's killed all our brothers on a Saturday Our blood's dishonored and our wounds were deep Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls The girls said I'd die before I get old The war is over and the graves were deep The sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep You burned my house and you raped my wife I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord that I can kill that fucker tonight So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Oh, hey there, Dad Don't you know who I am? No motherfucker, don't give a goddamn So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old

Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler Made moonshine so he could make a dollar Six feet tall, dressed in overalls And wore himself a long gray beard People say Floyd came to town one day But two law dogs got in his way Floyd never hurt no one in his life But they never came back this way No, they never came back this way And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye The G-men came out to track him down But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing How how how how how And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye Yeah the souls are they were cryin' Yeah the creeper he was creepin' Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors All they could say is he was eaten by a gator The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing How how how how how And the soul said... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone There's a full moon now The moon was shinin' bright singing Aye aye aye aye aye

My daddy told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman won't you come back home I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue I've had a thousand maybe more But never one like you I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down I never dreamed that I would beg you 'Cause woman I need you now It seems to me I took your love for granted It feels to me that this time I was wrong so wrong Oh Lord how I feel so lonely I say woman won't you come back home I tried to do what my daddy taught me But I think he knew Some day that I would find one woman like you I never dreamed that it could feel so good Lord That two could be one I never knew about sweet love So woman won't you come back home Oh baby won't you come back home
