10 Miles Deep

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
 Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made
 The Devil's come to take your boy away
 I've been spotted on the run
 I'll be waitin when they come
 Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made
 I was born a poor man's only son
 It aint my fault I grew up on the run
 I did my time as a working man
 Fate kept blood stains on my hand
 I was born a poor man's only son
 Chorus:
 When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
 When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
 Said brother when you lay me down
 Down beneath the cold hard ground
 You better put me ten miles deep
 I keep my pistol by my head at night
 Lordy I can't seen to do no right
 My hometown, they know my name
 Killed the man and won I my fame
 Keep my pistol by my head at night
 When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep
 When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep
 I knew it when they shot me down
 Felt the flames from underground
 When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep
 Chorus:
 When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
 When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
 Said brother when you lay me down
 Down beneath the cold hard ground
 You better put me ten miles deep
 Said brother when you lay me down
 Down beneath the cold hard ground
 You better put me ten miles deep
