letra de dark of the holler - the pine box boys

(ha, two, three, four)

[verse 1]
shut your mouth, get my jug, pull the cork, and take a swaller
get your gun, i’ll run my dogs, take the trail to the dark of the holler
if we don’t get it first, bet your bottom dollar hollins will
i’ll tell you what is worse: what hollins shoots, hollins aims to k!ll
my old red will take the lead, tree him first, baying louder
load that ball, pack that wadding – be sure to use plenty powder
my dogs are awful mean, bad enough to keep hollins’ dogs at bay
hollins’ dogs are green, all my dogs are bigger anyway
my pretty wife at home won’t forgive me if i fail
and if i don’t get there first she’ll curse my soul to h-ll
i promise not to preach, and i swear to name no names
i’ll quit my pride and shoulder all the shame

[verse 2]
he’s heading east – we’ve got him now, box him in down at the bottoms
dogs have got him on the run, run him down just i taught them
the clouds are breaking up; we’re getting better light now from the moon
hollins’ dogs are catching up and i figure we’ll be seeing hollins’ soon
take the bridge; i’ll double back and make the trail harder to follow
catch them both; take our shots; leave them dead in the dark of the holler
we’ve got to do it quick – i shouldn’t have to tell you what to do
but hollins can be sl!ck – if he sees us first he’ll try to shoot us too
that coon hound i called sadie was a pretty b-tch indeed
got a taste of every little possum she could tree
it like to break my heart when he never did come home
and hollins never told me what he known

(ungh!)

[verse 3]
hold my hand, it’s getting dark, i swear these clouds are getting thicker
and hold your hand on my gut: the hole down there is bleeding quicker
ezekiel has a verse – stop up the bleeding before i die
but if i had a bible here, i bet i couldn’t find it if i tried
tell the wife when i get home to rest -ssured, i know i got him
tail the dogs – they’re on him now – and take my gun, and go k!ll hollins
never tell a soul you know for sure what really happened here
three bodies don’t amount to much compared to all the ones they found this year
and tell me – is that sadie l!cking on my nose?
i know i’m getting sleepy but my eyes won’t seem to close
and take my final bullet, sure to find its mark
and leave me in the holler in the dark
