“CRAZY JANE” by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby
D G
I told him I would give him a ten minute head start
C G
If he headed north he just might reach the river
D G
He begged me to forgive him I said you’re breaking my cold heart
C G
I’m showing you more quarter than you gave her
Am C G
So you better stop your crying better run now while you can
Am C G
‘cause I’ve got half a mind just to shoot you where you stand
Am C G
I myself do wonder why I;m giving you this chance
Am C G
That the others won’t be so inclined to offer
D G
I do not know what happened between you and Crazy Jane
C G
She was not an easy one to take to
D G
But I swear you will be sorry if I see your face again
C G
And if the others find you they will surely hang you
Am C G
So run now mother fucker fast as your feet can fly
Am C G
Run north for the river or surely you will die
Am C G
But one chance I will give you don’t waste time wondering why
Am C G
There’s twenty on their way here just to kill you
D G
Heard the volley of gunfire as I slowly rode away
C G
From that place that I will nevermore return to
D G
Don’t know if that old bastard made the river edge that day
C G
Information that I have no wish to learn
Am C G
Crazy Jane was nothing but a seething ball of hate
Am C G
Crazy as her brothers and deserving of her fate
Am C G
They’ll meet again in Hell hope she does not have long to wait
Am C G
I would not wish her damned soul to be lonely
D G
They’ll shout out from the Bible as they lay her body down
C G
They’ll turn those words to something that’s pure evil
D G
My family blood is soaked deep into this mountain ground
C G
For centuries they’ve been bleeding for the Devil
Am C G
So lie sister lie down under these stones
Am C G
Lie sister lie with our ancestor’s bones
Am C G
If only it had weight enough to keep your evil down
Am C G
Lie there with the ones who came before you(x2)
