He went down to Watertown expecting all his sin to be washed clean
Am C G C Am
He killed a man in Birmingham and he jumped the first train south to New Orleans

With a C note from a dead man's coat, pearl handle pistol, smokinââ¦still
Am C G C Am
He saw a shadow cross his path and in its wake, he felt a dead man's chill

Down by the Mississippi the train stops on a dime. Harmonics 12fret w/bend on guitar neck
Am C G C Am
and into that muddy river he threw his gun as though it might free him from his crime

In the absinth bar on Bourbon Street he heard a foreign voice call his name

There's a preacher man with a withered hand in a little town in northern Tennessee

And for a tender price he'll roll the dice and if it comes up seven you're gonna win
Am C G C Am

[Verse 4]
Am C G C Am
Well he saddled up his stolen horse and rode North in the night
Am C G C Am

Well they grabbed him quick and grabbed him hard and drug him right off that stolen mare
[Verse 6]
