jackson davis lyrics
[verse 1]
jackson davis was a cold assassin
he rode for the rebel south
he hated cole younger with a firin’ passion
thought jessie james ran his mouth
he never gave a d-mn about the rhyme or reason
he just loved the sight of blood
he kept on k!llin’ when the war was over
and the dove was countin’ mud
and he’d sing
[chorus]
“hang me high from a tall, tall tree
all i ever wanted was to live free
pour a bottle of whiskey over my bones
drive a wooden cross through a stack of stones
and tеll all the girls not to cry
because i’ll lovе ’em all until the day i die
’til the day i die”
[verse 2]
jackson davis was born in kansas
a preacher’s son to a mother’s saint
his daddy learned that there’s souls for savin’
but some souls that you can’t
idle hands made the devil’s work
when he picked up a gun
shot his first man when he was thirteen
his daddy prayed, “help my son”
and he’d sing
[chorus]
“hang me high from a tall, tall tree
all i ever wanted was to live free
pour a bottle of whiskey over my bones
drive a wooden cross through a stack of stones
and tell all the girls not to cry
i’ll love ’em all until the day i die
’til the day i die”
[verse 3]
he rode with quantrill back to lawrence
right down main to the end of town
his daddy cried out when he saw jackson
but his mama never made a sound
his mama never made a sound
until he barred the windows and he locked the doors
and then he lit that church by the bottom floor
his daddy held a bible and he tried to save us
but h-ll had no fury like jackson davis
[chorus]
he sang, “hang me high from a tall, tall tree
all i ever wanted was to live free
pour a bottle of whiskey over my bones
drive a wooden cross through a stack of stones
and tell all the girls not to cry
i’ll love ’em all until the day i die
’til the day i die”
