High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parrish - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

It was said of the sheriff to Calhoun Parish[00:00:11]

Not to ever touch his daughter Emily[00:00:16]

For to look at her with lustful eyes was certain[00:00:21]

To get you a time in the penitentiary[00:00:27]

It was true she was quite voluptuous[00:00:35]

And it was true she had eyes for me[00:00:40]

Then one night at a dance she walked up to me[00:00:45]

And ask me would I meet her down by the creek[00:00:51]

As I listened to her dangerous proposal[00:01:02]

I thought about the high sheriff catching me[00:01:07]

As I shook my head and quietly left the party[00:01:13]

I heard her laugh and say [00:01:18]

"You'll be sorry"[00:01:21]

Then there came upon my door a loud disturbance[00:01:29]

I opened it to the sheriff and his deputy[00:01:34]

He said "Son did you molest my daughter "[00:01:39]

I said "Sheriff [00:01:45]

I do not know of what you speak"[00:01:46]

Then he grabbed me roughly by the collar[00:01:53]

And he flung me sprawling out into the street[00:01:58]

There were days in the jail with claustrophobia[00:02:03]

And all on account of that wench Emily[00:02:09]

Well I finally worked a bar loose from the window[00:02:17]

And made my way into the woods of Calhoun[00:02:23]

Late that night I came upon a cabin[00:02:28]

It was the home of Harham Cross a friend I knew[00:02:33]

Would you all mind if I sat down at your table[00:02:42]

'Cause it's been a while since I've had time to eat[00:02:47]

And I'll pay y'all back when I'm able[00:02:53]

But right now the high sheriff is after me[00:02:58]

You see[00:03:38]

Ooh[00:03:42]
