“CRAZY JANE” ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

Bonesaw Lullaby BMI

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 under down 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
