Walker's Woods - Ed Bruce

作词：Kay Arnold

作曲：Kay Arnold

I stole her from Emmett Fry

and now what's done is done

Like any man I'm afraid to die

but I'm hurt too bad to run

I ran with her to Walker's Woods

with him close on my heels

I knew he'd kill to get her back

and I know just how he feels

Oh the sun never shines in Walker's Woods

I doubt if it would want to come in even if it could

'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths

the sand that pulls you down

Makes Walker's Woods a haven

for the damned

By the quicksand over there

my dream came to an end:

She said it was a big mistake

that she'd return to him

So I gave her to the hungry sands

now all I loved is dead

And all that's left is the scarlet rag that

she wore upon her head

Oh the sun never shines

in Walker's Woods

I doubt if it would want to

come in even it could

'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths

the sand that pulls you down

Makes Walker's Woods a haven

for the damned

I've no regrets I loved her

five more minutes I'll be free

I'd have made it if that cottonmouth

hadn't made his strike at me

But I have to laugh when

I think how mad old Emmett's

going to be

When he finds out he never got to

take one shot at me

Oh the sun never shines

in Walker's Woods

I doubt if it would want to come in

even if it could

'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths

the sand that pulls you down

Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned

Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
