Ten Miles Deep Lyrics - Homemade Tamales: Live At Floores - Randy Rogers Band

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep 

Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made 

The Devil's come to take your boy away 

I've been spotted on the run 

I'll be waitin when they come 

Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made 

I was born a poor man's only son 

It aint my fault I grew up on the run 

I did my time as a working man 

Fate kept blood stains on my hand 

I was born a poor man's only son 

Chorus: 

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep 

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep 

Said brother when you lay me down 

Down beneath the cold hard ground 

You better put me ten miles deep 

I keep my pistol by my head at night 

Lordy I can't seen to do no right 

My hometown, they know my name 

Killed the man and won I my fame 

Keep my pistol by my head at night 

When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep 

When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep 

I knew it when they shot me down 

Felt the flames from underground 

When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep 

Chorus: 

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep 

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep 

Said brother when you lay me down 

Down beneath the cold hard ground 

You better put me ten miles deep 

Said brother when you lay me down 

Down beneath the cold hard ground 

You better put me ten miles deep
