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[00:00:12]
Gazing through the fog to the other side[00:00:15]
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail[00:00:18]
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail[00:00:21]
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall[00:00:24]
Remembering the music of my lover's call[00:00:27]
So you make no mistake[00:00:36]
I know just what it takes[00:00:38]
To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates[00:00:39]
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin[00:00:42]
But they say it's never too late to start again[00:00:45]
Oh when, oh when[00:00:48]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin[00:00:51]
Oh when, oh when[00:00:54]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?[00:00:57]
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three[00:01:12]
When the warden with his key came to set me free[00:01:15]
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit[00:01:18]
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute[00:01:21]
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande[00:01:24]
And I shot a man down on the edge of town[00:01:27]
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around[00:01:30]
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down[00:01:33]
He said, you make no mistake[00:01:37]
I know just what it takes[00:01:39]
To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates[00:01:40]
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin[00:01:43]
But they say it's never too late to start again[00:01:46]
Oh when, oh when[00:01:49]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin[00:01:52]
Oh when, oh when[00:01:55]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?[00:01:58]
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song[00:02:13]
So I took the first train up to Oregon[00:02:16]
And I killed the first man that I came upon[00:02:19]
Because the devil works quick, you know it don't take long[00:02:22]
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[00:02:29]
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe[00:02:32]
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade[00:02:35]
Oh when, oh when[00:02:38]
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin[00:02:41]
Oh when, oh when[00:02:44]
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?[00:02:47]
Oh when, oh when[00:02:50]
Will that black river water wash me clean again[00:02:53]
Oh when, oh when[00:02:56]
Will thee keys to the kingdom be mine again[00:02:59]
