Letra de Brown County Red

I started out young
With my daddy's shotgun
Making corn liquor to sell
Mamma said son
There’ll be trouble to come
I thought I was doing well
I got in a bind
On the brown county line
And I shot three deputies dead
I went on the run
And before I was done
The Ohio River ran red
I can't tell it's night
Til they turn out the light
I don’t know the day or the hour
They locked me up well in the brown county jail
And I'm going to hang till I'm dead
Cause I painted brown county red
The judge he looked down
With his gavel and gown
Said it's the end of the line
In the eyes of this court
You have lived by the sword
And by the sword you're gonna die
They'll bury me
Underneath that oak tree
So please carve these words in the trunk
I'll never more kill
For an old liquor still
Here in the brown county drum
I can't tell it’s night
Til they turn out the light
I don’t know the day or the hour
They locked me up well in the brown county jail
And I'm going to hang till I’m dead
Cause I painted brown county red
I can't tell it's night
Til they turn out the light
I don't know the day or the hour
They locked me up well in the brown county jail
And I’m going to hang till I'm dead
Cause I painted brown county red
