Lyrics

I been going like a chorus late at night All busted down and burning for my bed Ive been thinking about a woman in a wild kentucky town Where the mountains are high near harlem And the whirlpools drown, down There my secret can be found In the dark and bloody ground In the dark and bloody ground Oh, how i've missed you Oh, how i've cried I'd like to lay you down by my side Love you just once before i die And i'd be gentle And i'd never hurt you And god might send a moonbeam Lay us down, pleasant dreams Whatsoever things are lovely Whatsoever things are true Whatsoever things are kind and pure Thank you, these things And i will send out a moonbeam And lay us down to pleasant dreams Dewey was my best friend and he was tall Stood six foot nine against the wall We both loved the same girl but dewey he went bad And i guess you could say he made one mad He didn't have to do all those awful things to you Yeah dewey made me sick But i guess it takes two heels to click I took my nine pound hammer Swung it hard and spun him round I kicked him in the temple Watched him fall to the ground Oh, my blade found its mark in the dark And that blood flowed on the sand From the tall kentucky man Oh, hell hath no fury like the blues When a man's got on his killing shoes In the dark and bloody ground The dark and bloody ground The dark and bloody ground The dark and bloody ground
