“CRAZY JANE” by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

Bonesaw Lullaby

  D                           G
I told him I would give him a ten minute head start
      C                                    G
If he headed north he just might reach the river
   D                                      G
He begged me to forgive him I said you’re breaking my cold heart
    C                                 G
I’m showing you more quarter than you gave her

       Am               C             G
So you better stop your crying better run now while you can
       Am              C            G
‘cause I’ve got half a mind just to shoot you where you stand
Am          C              G
I myself do wonder why I;m giving you this chance
         Am              C              G
That the others won’t be so inclined to offer

  D                                 G
I do not know what happened between you and Crazy Jane
        C                  G
She was not an easy one to take to
      D                            G
But I swear you will be sorry if I see your face again
           C                                G
And if the others find you they will surely hang you

   Am             C           G
So run now mother fucker fast as your feet can fly
Am                C        G
Run north for the river or surely you will die
    Am                C              G
But one chance I will give you don’t waste time wondering why
        Am              C                G
There’s twenty on their way here just to kill you

          D                      G
Heard the volley of gunfire as I slowly rode away
          C                           G
From that place that I will nevermore return to
      D                                 G
Don’t know if that old bastard made the river edge that day
     C                             G
Information that I have no wish to learn

Am             C             G
Crazy Jane was nothing but a seething ball of hate
Am           C            G
Crazy as her brothers and deserving of her fate
        Am            C                  G
They’ll meet again in Hell hope she does not have long to wait
        Am           C                 G
I would not wish her damned soul to be lonely

        D                                G
They’ll shout out from the Bible as they lay her body down
        C                                         G
They’ll turn those words to something that’s pure evil
   D                                              G
My family blood is soaked deep into this mountain ground
    C                                       G
For centuries they’ve been bleeding for the Devil

   Am         C        G
So lie sister lie down under these stones
Am         C            G
Lie sister lie with our ancestor’s bones
   Am          C                G
If only it had weight enough to keep your evil down
Am                 C             G
Lie there with the ones who came before you(x2)
