boat comin' up the river

 I think you'ld better call John

here to deliver the mail

 And it's less than a mile away

 I hope they hope they didn't come 
   Cm7
to stay

          Bm7

 Daddy's gone and my brother's out 
huntin' in the mountains
 Big John's been drinkin' since the 
river took Emmy Lou
 So the powers that be left me here 
to do the thinkin'
 And I just turned twenty-two
 I was wonderin' what to do
 And the closer they got
 The more those feelin's grew

 Daddy's rifle in my hand felt 
reassurin;
 He told me "Red means run, son, and
 numbers add up to nothin'"
 When the first shot hit the dock 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

 inter-verse

 Shelter me from the powder and the 
finger
 Cover me with the one that pulled 
the trigger
 Just think of me as one you never 
figured
 Would fade away so young
 With so much left undone
 Remember me to my love, I know I'll
 miss her
