Barton Hollow Lyrics - Barton Hollow - The Civil Wars

Ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh 

I'm a dead man walking here 

That's the least of all my fears 

Ooh, underneath the water 

It's not Alabama clay 

Gives my trembling hands away 

Ooh, please forgive me, father 

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow 

Devil gonna follow me 'ever I go 

Won't do me no good, washing in the river 

Can't no preacher man save my soul 

Did that full moon force my hand? 

Or that unmarked hundred grand? 

Ooh, underneath the water 

Ooh, please forgive me, father 

Miles and miles in my bare feet 

Still can't lay me down to sleep 

If I die before I wake 

I know the Lord, my soul won't take 

Ooh, ooh 

I'm a dead man walking 

I'm a dead man walking 

You keep walking, running, running for miles 

Keep walking, running, running for miles 

Keep walking, running, running for miles 

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow 

Devil gonna follow me 'ever I go 

Won't do me no good, washing in the river 

Can't no preacher man save my soul
