Oak Island

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rail-tie worker, I've been layin' ties on cold ground But I'm leavin' this evenin' on thesametracks I laiddown There's some boys out in Jerseythat are callin' me out by name I got a reason to believe I ain't glory-bound anyway [Verse 2] And if you're readin' this letter tell my mother and my brother that I love 'em He's got the better blood of my old man and our cousins But he made a bad deal with some boys out on Oak Island And if he don't pay they say they're bound to find him [Chorus] But if I find 'еm on that island first The worst is yet to come 'Causе no blood in the mud I's raised in Spent life on the run [Verse 3] And I went to Jay's tavern and it happens that them boys were there Recognized his backside from the color of our mother's hair And my brother found another way to make himself a decent little livin' He turned around and found himself a lickin' only blood could give him And I told him I was there to keep him clear of that island He said, "I love you Mickey, but I found out that I'm them" And I got bad blood with some blood out on Oak Island And if he stays I say I am bound to find him [Chorus] But if I find 'em on that island first The worst is yet to come 'Cause no blood in the mud we's raised in Spent life on the run
