Lyrics
My name is Lucas Younger, I was born in the county Clygh In the war to save the Union, I fought on the losing side When the bodies fell like timber, and blood flowed like a stream And the country unraveled, like a seam Now as far as I remember, I've never had a cause To treat any man unjustly, or trample any laws But you can push a man just so far, before he'll turn and fight And it doesn't always matter if he's right CHORUS Ooh, promise me one thing You will bury me under god's wing Ooh, in case I cannot sleep Please don't dig my grave too deep In a deep and dark December, we were barely half alive I really don't remember how the half of us survived My brother joined the army, my mother joined the dead And I joined up with Quantrill instead We burned our way through through Kansas, and down to Tennessee Taking what we wanted, but not more than we need Now I've been called an outlaw, but never to my face And I will not be looked on in disgrace CHORUS My name is Lucas Younger, I'm all of twenty-five And I know I'm not expected to leave this room alive But if I should meet the Devil, I'll spit right in his eye The first time, I was too scared to try CHORUS Don't dig my grave too deep
