lyrics

I tell you we traveled from town to town
Weave between the pines
Gather the people like the cattle they were
Herd them into lines

Take all the pretty women
Take off their clothes
If any of them ever had a name
I didn't care to know

Take each woman in just one at a time
I'd tell her just what I'd do if she don't comply
They may remember me for the rest of their lives
But to me and my friends it was just another night

There was one with hair just as black as night
I only remember her because she didn't cry
Go ahead and just disgrace me if you wish
Where I come from they'd kill you for this

Left my scoundrel friends to travel across the lands
Moving under the guise of a farmer's hand
They'd take me in the evening and they'd feed me up right
Then I'd slip off in the morning with their daughter's pride

Found a patch of woods where I thought I could sleep the night
But I woke up to the darkness and a bit of a surprise
Carried through the field, out on a rail
I recognized the darkness of their daughter's hair

The moon shone off her knife as she raised it above her head
Told me it was god's good will that put me on her land
Said it once again after one hard kick
I told you where I come from they'd kill you for this
