Shallow Grave Lyrics

I guess It seems i've lost my touch

Relied on kings and jacks too much

Played for my life instead of cash

Who knew that he could draw so fast

And I can smell the smoke from the hole inside my heart

I feel my body and soul

Slowly drift apart

Drift apart

Oh

And when you bury me

Dig a shallow grave

And Nail one eye open

For this poor old knave

So I can see the sky just one more time

Before It's lights out for me

Before Its time to die

Time to die

I guess I deserve what I got

many men I've robbed and more I've shot

But I won't leave without a fight

I guess I'll pay my dues tonight

And as I hit the ground, I feel my blood run cold

I see the devil holding my hand, saying, "know when to fold"

"Know when to fold"

Oh

And when you bury me

Dig a shallow grave

And nail one eye open

For this poor old knave

So I can see the sky just one more time

Before It's lights out for me

Before Its time to die

Time to die

Oh

Woah (woah)
