Here is the Del Mccoury song sometimes played by yonder
submitted by arejay156
GEli Renfro kilFled his wife
CWith a long sharp boGwie knife
CHacked her up and pDut her in the groGund
GDeath by hanging was to Fbe his fate
CAnd old Eli filGled with hate
CPut a curse on the entire tDown
Chorus:
Can't you hGear, can't you hFear
CWhen the moon is bright and clGear
From time toG time
It's old EGli dragging chaFins
CAnd moaning peoples namDes
And I hGope and I pray that he nFever thCinks of mGine
I was walking the high road late last night
The stars were out and the moon was bright
The wind was blowing you could hear for half a mile
Then an awful sound came through the trees
It chilled my blood and it shook my knees
The kinda thing that makes a man run wild
[ Chorus ]
Well if you get home before I do
Don't look back cause I'm coming through
I'm packing my things and I'm headed far away
They say you can't run away from a curse
Maybe this time I'll be the first
Ain't nobody here gonna make me stay
Chorus -
(repeat: and I hope and I pray he never thinks of mine)
