Crazy Jane

“CRAZY JANE” by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies Bonesaw Lullaby I told him I would give him a ten minute head start If he headed north he just might reach the river He begged me to forgive him I said you’re breaking my cold heart I’m showing you more quarter than you gave her So you better stop your crying better run now while you can ‘cause I’ve got half a mind just to shoot you where you stand I myself do wonder why I;m giving you this chance That the others won’t be so inclined to offer I do not know what happened between you and Crazy Jane She was not an easy one to take to But I swear you will be sorry if I see your face again And if the others find you they will surely hang you So run now mother fucker fast as your feet can fly Run north for the river or surely you will die But one chance I will give you don’t waste time wondering why There’s twenty on their way here just to kill you Heard the volley of gunfire as I slowly rode away From that place that I will nevermore return to Don’t know if that old bastard made the river edge that day Information that I have no wish to learn Crazy Jane was nothing but a seething ball of hate Crazy as her brothers and deserving of her fate They’ll meet again in Hell hope she does not have long to wait I would not wish her damned soul to be lonely They’ll shout out from the Bible as they lay her body down They’ll turn those words to something that’s pure evil My family blood is soaked deep into this mountain ground For centuries they’ve been bleeding for the Devil So lie sister lie down under these stones Lie sister lie with our ancestor’s bones If only it had weight enough to keep your evil down Lie there with the ones who came before you(x2)
