[E]Look out, Mama, there's a w[A]hite boat comin' up the ri[E]ver
With a b[A]ig red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the r[E]ail
I think you'd b[A]etter call John,
Cause it don't look like they're here to d[Ab]eliver… the [A]mail
And it's l[Ab]ess than a mile aw[A]ay
I [Ab]hope they didn't come to [A]stay
Ab A* B* E A E
It's got numbers on the side and a gun and it's makin' big waves.
[E]Daddy's gone, my br[A]other's out hunting in the mo[E]untains
Big J[A]ohn's been drinking since the river took Emmy-L[E]ou
So the po[A]wers that be left me here to do the t[Ab]hinkin’ [A]
And I j[Ab]ust turned twenty-t[A]wo
I was [Ab]wonderin' what to [A]do
Ab A* B* E A E
And the closer they got, the more those feelings grew.
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'
He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why.
Then I saw black, and my face splashed in the sky.
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her.
