16 Horsepower -I Gotta Gal

I gotta gal
An she's so fair
Those eyes the blackest hair
Behind those...

I gotta gal
An she's so fine
All the boys stand in line
Keep your hands to yourself boy tonight

16 Horsepower -Coal Black Horses

Just as sure as that suns gonna shine
When he comes at his table i will dine

Just as sure as that dog's gonna whine
In my heart no longer will i pine

Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an an angel blow his horn
An down come jesus lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl she is mine....
An i say

Hey hey hey it's always forever
Hey hey hey it's never or now

16 Horsepower -Straight-mouth Stomp

Oh come sit down an' give me your word
That i'll be a man someday an' i'll hurt
These tremblin' (?) around me
This boy that i am
It's up here for thinkin'
And down there for dancin'
Not the other way around

Apples in the summertime
Peaches in the fall
I can't keep the girl i got
I can't keep none at all

16 Horsepower -Shametown

I see the world through the eyes of an idiot
Talkin' big white trash
Before the girls an' boys inside of my soul
They take my path
In the mirror there i see my father's face in glass
I know i am not anyone yet too afraid to ask

I will pawn you my watch
Pawn you my chain
Pawn you my new diamond ring
Pawn you my watch
Pawn you my chain
Pawn you yeah most anything

16 Horsepower -South Pennsylvania Waltz

I ain't afraid of your laughin'
Nor afraid of your fist
Come on with it brother
Your sweet betrayal kiss

I ain't a scared of you no more
Nor the scars upon your wrists
These bullets you've been shootin' at me
Yeah, they all fall short an' miss
Oh, brother

Get your boots on boy an' get on out
An' make your leavin' quick

16 Horsepower -Haw

Don't let your mind do all your walking
Boy you'll stumble every time
That road i seen the devil stalking
Dealin' only with the dyin'

G'on let the door hitem
Where my hound dog shoulda bittem
Leave him open, leave em there
I don't care

But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me

Sackcloth N' Ashes -Strong Man

The strong man he will kneel down
Whalst angels strip him of cloak and crown
Through bitter lips come vile breath
He is the last one to confess

There will be no pity for him
We must kill him where he stands
No there will be no mercy for him
Nor for any of his klan

Let there be no hesitation
Get a rope an make it quick
Each last breath come from his mouth
I will beat it out with a stick

Sackcloth N' Ashes -Neck On The New Blade

High fiddle high fiddle low fiddle low
There's a ghost bound in my soul
High fiddle high fiddle low fiddle low
There's a cold blade on my crow
A crooked in my walk a stumble in my talk
Is what i'm after little girl
Metal on the red overcast in head
I'm goin' down an feelin' ill

High fiddle high fiddle low fiddle low
There's a girl that i know
You ain't never had one i don't believe you will
This is your season for standin' still

Sackcloth N' Ashes -Prison Shoe Romp

Are ya listenin' boy the man he hung see
You've heard it said that's what he done for me
Did ya hear that girl -- the man he calls your name
You best go to him it's he not me can loose your chains
Then we'll commence to walk sometime in prison shoes
We'll walk an walk an walk away our blues

Ida done better
From cradle to coffin
In between there's just too much walkin'
I ain't no odd man out -- junk hiding junk
I ain't nothin' to speak of
Just put it in the back an leave it off the rack
No i ain't what you're used to

Sackcloth N' Ashes -Red Neck Reel

Everybody knows my business in this town
Lips are loose the whole way 'round
Where I go I leave a trail
Hell to heaven don't never fail
Hell to heaven don't never fail

Everybody knows my movement in this town
I chase my tail, yea I'm a fuckin' clown
But to you I dare not speak
My words to you would be worthless an weak
My words to you would be worthless an weak an all

But don't you take no pleasure
I ain't yet kicked the pail
