Black River Killer - Blitzen Trapper[00:00:00]
It was just a little while past the sunset strip[00:00:06]
They found the girl's body in an open pit[00:00:09]
Her mouth was sewn shut but her eyes were still wide[00:00:13]
Gazing through the fog to the other side[00:00:16]
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail[00:00:19]
With no bail sitting silent on a rusty pail[00:00:21]
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall[00:00:25]
Remembering the music of my lover's call[00:00:28]
So you make no mistake[00:00:37]
I know just what it takes[00:00:38]
To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates[00:00:40]
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin[00:00:43]
But they say it's never too late to start again[00:00:46]
Oh when oh when[00:00:48]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin[00:00:52]
Oh when oh when[00:00:55]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again[00:00:58]
It was dark as the grave it was just about three[00:01:13]
When the warden with his key came to set me free[00:01:16]
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit[00:01:19]
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute[00:01:22]
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande[00:01:25]
And I shot a man down on the edge of town[00:01:28]
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around[00:01:31]
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down[00:01:34]
He said you make no mistake[00:01:38]
I know just what it takes[00:01:39]
To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates[00:01:41]
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin[00:01:44]
But they say it's never too late to start again[00:01:47]
Oh when oh when[00:01:50]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin[00:01:53]
Oh when Oh when[00:01:56]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again[00:01:59]
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song[00:02:14]
So I took the first train up to Oregon[00:02:17]
And I killed the first man that I came upon[00:02:20]
Because the devil works quick[00:02:23]
You know it don't take long[00:02:24]
Then I went to the river ford to take a swim[00:02:27]
You know that black river water is as black as sin[00:02:30]
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe[00:02:33]
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade[00:02:36]
Oh when oh when[00:02:39]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin[00:02:42]
Oh when oh when[00:02:45]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again[00:02:48]
Oh when oh when[00:02:51]
Will that black river water wash me clean again[00:02:54]
Oh when oh when[00:02:57]
Will thee keys to the kingdom be mine again[00:03:00]
