Over The Hill (Garden Session) Lyrics

They put what we did in the paper, I feel super baby

That girl's back home with mom and father and she's sleeping safely

We'll bring home all of them

And find out who's behind it

And I'll kill any man I need to that would stand behind it

I have a meeting with the mayor

And he said very clearly to come alone and make sure no one knows

He said be careful you don't know what you're getting yourself into

And I'd hate to see you die

I said these girls were born for loving

Not to be sold by the dozen

And you wont bat an eye

He looked me dead in my face and said by this time tomorrow

You wont be alive

Honey we got places that we've gotta be

So grab the horse and I'll pack the bags

I'll tell you every thing you need

Once we're on dirt and crossing land

I love you dearly

And I know you don't prefer the guns

But there are men that want me dead

And I'd prefer you hold one

If they lay a hand even near you I'll cut fingers off

And I wont rest until they get what they deserve

We made it east of the river

Just south of the ranch

And we slept down there that night

We set a fire that would last us

And as the warm day passed us

It was a cold, cold night

Why don't you rest your head

I'll keep an eye out baby

They're coming over the hill

They brought dogs and their rifles

And they're out for blood tonight

Spare me one last kiss

You take that horse and you get

And don't you dare look behind you

Darling I love you

And I'm sorry it had to come down to this

I fired a round in each their skulls

And hung what's left to the blue oak

I stripped them bare and carved the names of every girl on every bloke

I let one live

To tell me where the other girls hid

He led me to the barn, I shot him dead

I opened that door and I said

Elle

Jane

Claire

Mae

Grace

Mary

Rose
