Lyrics

0:11Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin'
0:15He invited me diggin' so I picked up my screen
0:19And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine
0:23He traded me fair for a bottle of wine
0:27His brother's Barnes Mountain wine
0:51We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside
0:55Took a ridge for a while then we slowly went down
0:59To an overhang hid from the ridgeline
1:04We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground
1:08The dark and bloody ground
1:31Was a b***h to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
1:36The moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
1:40'Cause you can't hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
1:44Got to find your fire in the company of corn
2:08We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes
2:12Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone
2:18Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was sifting
2:22Shook the hills like the angels were callin' us home
2:25Jesse Zachary come home
2:32It was banded as hell it was fluted and clovis
2:36It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side
2:42I was fiending so fierce I was broke a*s and busted
2:46I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse's life
2:55A clovis like that is a hard point to find
2:58Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
3:03Left over for burn on whatever meanness
3:08Whatever woman is comin' my way
3:12Darlin' come my way
3:36I sit in this cell for the banded clovis
3:40I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day
3:45I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder
3:49Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin'
He invited me diggin' so I picked up my screen
And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine
He traded me fair for a bottle of wine
His brother's Barnes Mountain wine
We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside
Took a ridge for a while then we slowly went down
To an overhang hid from the ridgeline
We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground
The dark and bloody ground
Was a b***h to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
The moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
'Cause you can't hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
Got to find your fire in the company of corn
We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes
Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone
Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was sifting
Shook the hills like the angels were callin' us home
Jesse Zachary come home
It was banded as hell it was fluted and clovis
It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side
I was fiending so fierce I was broke a*s and busted
I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse's life
A clovis like that is a hard point to find
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
Left over for burn on whatever meanness
Whatever woman is comin' my way
Darlin' come my way
I sit in this cell for the banded clovis
I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day
I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder
Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
