the pine box boys - our christian duty lyrics

[narration]
sure enough, jubal k!lled that whole band with a knife, you know, so he wouldn’t waste any more of them sh-lls. and he dragged every one of their bl–dy cadavers to the river. cussing them the whole way, talking about how musicians ain’t worth a preacher’s cuss, no how, and if they weren’t the ones who done it who hurt his mama that way, well, they were at least accomplices

well he dumped them all in the river. and, you see, to jubal, all rivers were one. and he always remembered to thank the river every time it helped him out in some way. but somehow he didn’t feel satisfied, his intuition told him to keep searching. there might be more k!llings to be done

and that old crow said, “yeah, i’d do that.”

jubal traveled quickly now and only moved at night
time was at a premium, and he knew the law might find him
didn’t know who he was looking for, but trusted in his sight
certain if he saw him that he would recognize him
how swiftly he did move, his anger turned to might
dragged that heavy coffin up a road both steep and windin’
the moon was in the sky, growing cold and white
presently he became aware of someone now behind him
“put that pistol down, boy, you give me such a fright!
i can see you’re mighty anxious and i can hear your t–th a-grindin
i’m just a-going home and it’s a lonely night
i heard someone up ahead and thought i’d walk beside him
i live up on that mountain, it’s such a dizzy height
the folks who go to live up there, no one can ever find them
we have a little church up there, four-square, painted white
we’re usually kind to strangers, but our liquor tends to blind them
you look like you’re in trouble. tell me if i’m right
someone wants to find you with warrants, sworn and binding
we’ll just do our christian duty and tend to you tonight
it’s what our preacher says to do, and i reckon we should mind him
