lyrics
Like a secret black wisp of smoke
Rising from the devil’s crack
I dug a hole just to dig it up
Hard work done broke my back
Brenda-Lee she sent me a note
Sent it on a pretty yellow leaf
To this day I don’t know why she wrote
She could be sweet but she never could be brief
The Lord put stones in my shoes
So I can’t escape from you
I dangled from a dead man’s rope
Took a scramble to get me back
I shot a dove down to give me hope
Bag it up in a white cotton sack
There’s nothing stopping me from talking to the boys
Why don’t you wipe that face off your smile
Don’t pay money for these broken toys
Feel so tired like I walked a hundred miles
Rising from the devil’s crack
I dug a hole just to dig it up
Hard work done broke my back
Brenda-Lee she sent me a note
Sent it on a pretty yellow leaf
To this day I don’t know why she wrote
She could be sweet but she never could be brief
The Lord put stones in my shoes
So I can’t escape from you
I dangled from a dead man’s rope
Took a scramble to get me back
I shot a dove down to give me hope
Bag it up in a white cotton sack
There’s nothing stopping me from talking to the boys
Why don’t you wipe that face off your smile
Don’t pay money for these broken toys
Feel so tired like I walked a hundred miles
