Jerramiah Cane

Reveneurs came looking for Jerramiah Cane At the back of the Creole Swamp in the Everglades Asking round to find him, gonna bring him in Those boys can't make him pay for all his sin Tried to warn them bout the danger in the water They pushed us round, and kept pressing harder The moonlight was shining off of their guns We gave up Jerramiah with nowhere to run There's one way in no way out you'll never come back You set foot in that swamp you're dead men that's a fact There'll be no forgiveness, he'll send you to your grave That's how they became a part of the legend of Jerramiah Cane Big Revenuer Man came hunting for his crew Wanting us to tell him everything we knew Tried to warn him bout the danger in the water He pushed us round and kept pressing harder The moonlight was shining off of his gun We gave up Jerramiah with nowhere to run There's one way in no way out you'll never come back You set foot in that swamp you're dead men that's a fact There'll be no forgiveness, he'll send you to your grave That's how they became a part of the legend of Jerramiah Cane That's the last time, 40 years since then No man's ever come looking for Jerramiah again
