We lived in a little shack, and ate bacon grease.
I slept with my sister, and she slept with my pa.
And we kept my little brother in a jar.
I ain't got no moonshine, I ain't got no wife.
Oh Lord help me, rebuild my life.
Since I was a young boy, traveled far from home.
Oh Lord don't let me die on my own.
I ended up in prison, down in Tennessee.
There were 14 bad dudes, in the cell with me.
I felt so dirty, I felt like a pig.
Got raped in the showers by Mr Big.
Now my life's nearly over, it's been a pain.
And my eyes are getting bad, I didn't see that train.
As I lay here dying, I hear coyote hoots.
But it's two drunk Indians stealing my boots.
I grew up in the deep South, and wore dungarees. We lived in a little shack, and ate bacon grease. I slept with my sister, and she slept with my pa. And we kept my little brother in a jar. I ain't got no moonshine, I ain't got no wife. Oh Lord help me, rebuild my life. Since I was a young boy, traveled far from home. Oh Lord don't let me die on my own. I ended up in prison, down in Tennessee. There were 14 bad dudes, in the cell with me. I felt so dirty, I felt like a pig. Got raped in the showers by Mr Big. Now my life's nearly over, it's been a pain. And my eyes are getting bad, I didn't see that train. As I lay here dying, I hear coyote hoots. But it's two drunk Indians stealing my boots.
