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
