Green pastures that I dreamt up when I was young
Every note that I'm meant to sing's been sung
I planted the tree from which I'll be strung
Amongst the devils I've become
Green pastors told me that I'm filled with sin
The devil's water damn near did me in
The holy rollers sing their battle hymn
Now I'm an outlaw from within
Well, I came with sin (I came with sin)
I came with lore (I came with lore)
But I'm a creature you've just never dealt with before
I brought with me famine (I brought with me famine)
I brought with me plague (I brought the plague)
And endless rumination, wondering if I'll be saved
Because there's no turning back (there's no turning back)
This path that I've chose (this path that I've chose)
So on my dying day leave me a single black rose
Because change is a-coming
It's coming in fast
I pray this final charge will be my best and last
(Here we go, God Damnit!)
And the steel mill foundry's enveloped in fire
And the downtown square is sure to expire
And our moonshine stills' stand a snowball's chance
So hand in hand, do-si-do, as we do death's dance
Come on!
And the fire in the mountains could light up the moon
And the cavalry ain't here yet, but they will be soon
As the wind lays waste to everything I adore
And the fiddle plays my dirge, I'm rapping on death's door
Good bye!
So long!
Green pastures that I dreamt up when I was young
Turn to gray
