*************** DEATH AND HELL ***************
written by John R. Cash and John Carter Cash
performed by Johnny Cash.
Verse 1:
She steppeAd down from her carriage at 10 VermiF#mllon Street
I took off Dmy roustabout and slung it Eto her feet
We went inAto her parlor and she cooled meF#m with her fan
But said i'lDl go no further with a fantasy mEakin' man A
Verse 2:
I said i'F#d walk on Ponchatrain for what youB have today
Just to driEnk from your deep well and i'll be on my way A
She laughed aF#nd heaven filled the room said thiBs i give to you
This body's Ewisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two A
Chorus:
Death andD hell areE never fuDll A
And neither aDre the eyes of Emen A
Cats can Dfly fromE nine stoDries high A
And pigs can see the Ewind D
Verse 3:
She let mAe make my pallet in the moonlF#might on the floor
Just outside Dof paradise but right in Ehell's back door
The imageA of her nibbled at the eye of mF#my soul
My dreams weDre a hurricane and quite out Eof control A
Verse 4:
Then her voiF#ce came through the storm it's moreB than flesh i deal
You will havEe to pay for any wisdom that you steal A
I awoke to F#tinted windows and lavender Band red
The first staEtion of the cross is just above my head A
I awoke toF# gargoyles and a hard benBch for my bed
Jesus ChriEst and Pontias Pilate were just above my head A
Chorus.
