Verse one

Way down south where the swamplands grow,

I was messin where nobody goes

Fishin for my dinner in a craw daddy bed

I fell in yah-and I broke my neck

When down from the bottom of the mucky depths,

A girl stood up and stole my breath,

She said “aint no need, gotta come with me,

Dont be alarmed cause you got something I need

Im Happy to have met you my name is jess

I think its time we left.”

Chorus

Tell my family tell my kin,

I won’t be comin home again

The grim reapers name is Jess,

shes been fair and I feel quite blessed. (alright)

Verse 2

Eyes like fire and skin like ice

Sweet water to carry her 'way.

Getting away to a secret hole

To a place where she take my soul

From the land of the living to the land of the dead.

When I heard this no tears were shed

Bridge*: (same chords as chorus)

The worms conspired

The life I had now has expired

Bathed in fire

To live again is my desire

Chorus

Verse 3

Like a candle my flame is out

Certain of this there is no doubt

Just one thing that needs to be known

Will I float like a log or sink like a stone?
