lyrics

Pretty darlin’ I’m going down now you’ve said you don’t want me around

I chased a freight train bound out of mind out of town

to find my peace in old southern sounds


I dreamt you face by the fire side, I screamed your name in the moonlight

baby please let me come home I can’t make it on my own like a dirty dog

like a dirty ooohhhooohhoho


I stumbled toward Decatur to go to town for one last round

and I shot poor Louis for the gold he found

I ain’t got my .44 no more and the warden says I’m done for

and darlin I might never see you again


I’m workin’ a shank and counting the days

‘til that warden turns his back after spittin’ in my face

babe I’m comin home I can’t make it on my own like a dirty dog

like a dirty ooohhhooohhohooo


I snuck my way back to Baton Rouge

to grab some cash to come home to you

and blew the safe at the county bank

I was stuffin’ bills in my coat pocket

runnin’ home through swamp and thicket

Found my way to our front door


I was peekin’ through the shades to find your face

and there’s another man layin’ where I used to lay

only two shots rang loud I dug two holes in the ground like a dirty dog

like a dirty ooohhhooohhohooo


I dreamt your face your face by the fireside

I screamed your name in the moonlight

Babe please let me come home I can’t make it on my own like a dirty dog

like a dirty ooohhhooohhohooo
