lyrics

I didn’t kill no Jacob Reed
My love will vouch for me
I found him by the back door drowned in red
Single gun shot to his head

The wingtips would gather like crows upon a line
Decide the round and time
Jacob always loved to chase the green
Greedy like a fire with a taste for gasoline

We grew up through the lanes of 49
Hitting like a freight train fuelled on cheap girls and wine

And I’m bound to leave before I’m bound to stay
For the killing of my friend and the bribe I would not take
Oh I’d trade my life for his
Lord I never wanted this
Lord I never wanted this

I didn’t drown poor Liza Grey
I knew her back in 49
They found her on the banks of Franklin Bay
How she got there only her poor soul can say

I’m bound to leave before I’m bound to stay
For the killing of that girl and the choice she could not make
Oh that sweet girl I’ll miss
Lord I never wanted this
Lord I never wanted this

I wait below in darkness for a while
Until I hear her shifting weight
I show myself my baby tries to scream
She screams to late

I’m bound to leave before I’m bound to stay
For the killing of that girl and the love I could not take
Oh I leave her with a kiss
Lord I never wanted this
Lord I never wanted this

I didn’t burn down father’s house
I haven’t seen him in a year
He clawed and screamed for Coraline
Through the burning smell of blackened flesh and pine


I’m bound to leave before I’m bound to stay
For the killing of that man and the love he could not give
I wont trade my life for his
Lord It’s all he had to give
Lord It’s all that he could give

I didn’t kill poor Jacob Reed
