Don't let darkness catch you At the edge of town. 'Cause the men around here, They ain't playing around. Men around here, They ain't playing around. You better get on home now Before the sun goes down.
'Round here they shoot them easy And they hang them high. Stand around, watch them die. Shoot them easy, Lord, they hang them high. Ain't no tomorrow and no good-bye.
Mississippi River dark and wide. Trying to get across To the Arkansas side. Mississippi River dark and wide. I'm just trying to make it back, Back to the Arkansas side.
When the sun comes up I'll be on that train. I'm going back Where they know my name. Sun come up, I'll be on that blue, blue train. I ain't never going back Across the river again.
Mississippi River dark and wide. Trying to get across To the Arkansas side. Mississippi River dark and wide. I'm just trying to make it back, Back to the Arkansas side.

Don't let darkness catch you At the edge of town. 'Cause the men around here, They ain't playing around. Men around here, They ain't playing around. You better get on home now Before the sun goes down.
'Round here they shoot them easy And they hang them high. Stand around, watch them die. Shoot them easy, Lord, they hang them high. Ain't no tomorrow and no good-bye.
Mississippi River dark and wide. Trying to get across To the Arkansas side. Mississippi River dark and wide. I'm just trying to make it back, Back to the Arkansas side.
When the sun comes up I'll be on that train. I'm going back Where they know my name. Sun come up, I'll be on that blue, blue train. I ain't never going back Across the river again.
Mississippi River dark and wide. Trying to get across To the Arkansas side. Mississippi River dark and wide. I'm just trying to make it back, Back to the Arkansas side.
