歌曲歌詞
The air all painted pallid gray
The storm was coming in
Folks were lining out in all directions
Me and Holt and Henry Short
Were pitching on the skiff
Trying to make it home before the night
The gray waves were rolling
Bold the brave brave ocean
And rolled us suckers in
Well I don't keep to goings on
I tend to stick with kin
Watson had it in from the beginning
Built that house on Chatham Bend
Who I washed knotted pine
Ninety acres furrowed for the cane
Drove it down from Georgia
His dad a martyred soldier
War between the states
Lord bring down the flood
Wash away the blood
Drown these everglades
And put us in our place
We laid Edgar Watson in his grave
We laid him in his grave
'Til I'm dust I'll never know
Why he came ashore with all those killers
Gathered on the shoreline
Kicking holes in ugly mud
With trigger fingers pinched
Brace of rifles bristled in the wind
We towed his body northbound
Buried him all face down
The good view in the hell
Lord bring down the flood
Wash away the blood
Drown these Everglades
And put us in our place
We laid Edgar Watson in his grave
We laid him in his grave
We laid him in his grave
Laid him in his grave
