Am                 C                  G                   Am
ROBBED YOU OF YOUR CHRISTIAN SOUL AND LEFT YOU DOWN RIGHT MEAN
G                                      Am
YANKEE CARPETBAGGER SHOULDN’T A CUSSED YOUR PA

        D                                              Am
THERE’S AN EVIL WIND A BLOWING ACROSS A MIDNIGHT OH SO COLD
        D                                                Am
ANOTHER DEAD MANS MOTHERS CRYIN FOR A SON WHO WON'T COME HOME

YEA, YOU NEVER TRUST NOBODY AND PUSH THE WEAKEST TO THE WALL

YOU RODE STRAIGHT TO TEXAS WITH THE DEVIL BY YOUR SIDE
THE INSURRECTION OF YOUR SOUL, COST 32 MEN THEIR LIVES
SAID YOUR FAVORITE WAY OF DYIN, WAS SWINGING BY A ROPE
WELL IT DID NOT MATTER ALL THAT MUCH, TELL THE DEVIL i'M HARD TO CHOKE

 CHORUS

AT THE AGE OF 27, MAN WE FINALLY GOT YOU HUNG
IN THE END YOU’D BEG FORGIVENESS, FOR THE DAMAGE THAT YOU DONE
IN THAT JAIL CELL DOWN IN GIDDINGS, ON THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU'D DIE
SAID JAILER, PULL THAT ROPE REAL TIGHT, IN THE MORNIN FOR HELL I RIDE

CHORUS
