Lay down your head annie your goin home,
you shoulda been gone long ago, you shoulda been gone long ago
when tom walked back from the civil war,
there waited two women by his door, ya there waited two women by his door
Guitar break
she killed poor lo lo and buried her down,
in shallow gave on the mountain side, in shallow gave on the mountain side
for loves jealous ways tom took the fall,
headed out for Arkansas, headed out for Arkansas
Guitar break x2
oh annie melton toms dead and gone,
hung for the sins you have done, hung for the sin you have done
hang your head down annie hang your head and cry,
make tear marks before you die, make tear marks before you die
Guitar break
long have you lived with this blood on your hands
the flames of hell around you head, the flames of hell around you head
lay down your head annie your goin home
shoulda been gone long ago, shoulda been gone long ago
Guitar break x2
