Lie down lie down They say the devil's comin round All wicked men are gonna hang It's the law of the land There's a bounty on my head And I hear him comin for me I was drunk, it was dark When I stabbed you right through the heart I felt the wind, I felt the rain I felt a chill down in my veins There was black there was red A feeling of dread In those tears that were shed No one ever knows What darkness can hold There ain't no salvation in regret Lie down lie down They say the devil's comin round Pray that he doesn't come for me He's the law of the land There's a sixgun in his hand Lord, will I ever be set free? I was born, a bastard son Like my mom, I had no love My troubled life is all I had Only shame, pain and regret There was black there was red A feeling of dread Now I face the law of the land In black and white No question that night There ain't no raisin' the dead Lie down lie down They say the devil's comin round All wicked men are gonna hang It's the law of the land There's a bounty on my head And I hear him comin for me
