[00:06.59]Well, I know that I shouldn't have done it
[00:10.82]I know that it just wasn't right
[00:14.10]'Cause they got me backed up to
[00:16.12]the Cotton Mouth River
[00:17.80]And I can't cross late at night

[00:28.50]About the men who tried to cross
[00:30.54]that river by moonlight
[00:32.46]And never were heard from again
[00:37.83]If I had my life to live over
[00:41.34]I'd have gone to work that day
[00:44.55]Instead of goin' into town

[01:11.78]And I got one foot in the mud
[01:15.16]I can hear the hounds a-bayin'
[01:17.02]but the snake around my ankle
