NOTE: The song was mis-titled, since Lee Green clearly sings "Death Valley".
INTRO
I'm going down in Death Valley, nothin' down there but clubs and bones
Goin' down in Death Valley, nothin' down there but clubs and bones
If you see my sweet baby, please tell her the way that I'm gone
With my sword in my hand, my gun loaded round and round
My sword in my hand, my gun loaded round and round
I'm gonna battle, I'm gonna battle, some bad fool, carry me down
Lord, I've got tired, everybody tryin' to dog me 'round
Lord, I've got tired, everybody tryin' to dog me 'round
Sooner be dead and sleepin', baby, in the ground
Now, dear old Mister Jailer, you can do anything you want with me
Dear old Mister Jailer, do anything you want with me
When I get through battlin', Mister Jailer, goin' back to my used-to-be
Lord, down in Death Valley, bloody skulls and bones
Down in Death Valley, bloody skulls and bones
My sweet woman be cryin', be cryin', she found out where that I'm gone
