Leechburg

Down here, Leechburg town,
that’s where they put my daddy underground,
he ain’t ever going to feel the sun,
down here where the Mononghela River runs.
White-tailed deer in the deep pine woods,
around these parts it’s understood,
boy, you hear that rifle crack,
you better turn around and watch your back.
Yeah, you don’t know nothing about this.
Yeah, you can’t ask a man to forget.
Not even Jesus Christ himself would forgive.
Dark river, deep and cruel,
I’ll tell you what, I ain’t no fool.
I know where it is I come from.
I know what needs to be done.
Yeah, you don’t know nothing about this.
Yeah, you can’t ask a man to forget.
Not even Jesus Christ himself would forgive.
Cold, black winter’s night,
time has come to set things right.
Me and my brother’s go walking out,
you better turn the lights out in that company house.
Yeah, you don’t know nothing about this.
Yeah, you can’t ask a man to forget.
Not even Jesus Christ himself would forgive.
Down here, Leechburg town,
that’s where they put my daddy underground.
