Anne Mccue Ballad Of An Outlaw Woman
Never swam a warm Mississippi
Never thought myself to look pretty
Heard the blues Delta countryside
To keep yourself alive got to hide what you feel inside
Look at me child, I was born and bred
Kind of mean child, never caught the thread
My daddy was a man used to smile as he counted the dead
He said Anne get your gun,
got a job, there's work to be done
Was a man, a man who called me son
To keep a love alive got to hide what you feel inside.
A little boy he came my way
How's about a roll in the hay?
We hit the road, baby at my breast
To keep a life alive, got to know how to take what's
best
Look at me child, I was born and raised
Look in my eyes child, can you see they're glazed?
To keep your truth alive got to hide what you know
inside.
Never was a man so mean.
Never was a shot so clean,
Into my heart, I could no longer stand.
My daddy was a man only smiled with a gun in his hand.
Take my body,
Take it to the sea.
Little fishes let 'em feed on me.
To keep yourself afloat gotta tread water carefully
To keep yourself afloat gotta tread water carefully
