Black River Killer
Blitzen Trapper

It was just a little while past the sunset stripnThey found the girl's body in an open pitnHer mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still widenGazing through the fog to the other sidennThey booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jailnWith no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pailnJust gazing at the marks on the opposite wallnRemembering the music of my lover's callnnSo you make no mistakenI know just what it takesnTo pull a man's soul back from heaven's gatesnI've been wandering in the dark about as long as sinnBut they say it's never too late to start againnnOh when, oh whennWill the spirit come a calling for my soul to sinnOh when, oh whennWill the keys to the kingdom be mine again?nnIt was dark as the grave, it was just about threenWhen the warden with his key came to set me freenThey gave me five dollars and a secondhand suitnA pistol and a hat and a worn out flutennSo I took a bus down to the Rio GrandenAnd I shot a man down on the edge of townnThen I stole me a horse and I rode it aroundnTil the sheriff pulled me in and sat me downnnHe said, you make no mistakenI know just what it takesnTo pull a man's soul back from heaven's gatesnI've been wandering in the dark about as long as sinnBut they say it's never too late to start againnnOh when, oh whennWill the spirit come a calling for my soul to sinnOh when, oh whennWill the keys to the kingdom be mine again?nnWell the sheriff let me go with a knife and a songnSo I took the first train up to OregonnAnd I killed the first man that I came uponnBecause the devil works quick, you know it don't take longnnThen I went to the river ford to take a swimnYou know that black river water is as black as sinnAnd I washed myself clean as a newborn babenAnd then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my bladennOh when, oh whennWill the spirit come a calling for my soul to sinnOh when, oh whennWill the keys to the kingdom be mine again?nOh when, oh whennWill that black river water wash me clean againnOh when, oh whennWill thee keys to the kingdom be mine again
