Down by the riverbank in the old bayou I am
digging a grave into mud just for you And the
hardest rains always come from Tupelo The
hardest rains always come from Tupelo Blinded
by the moonshine from Mexico I'm singing blues
waiting for the death row And the hardest
rains always come from Tupelo Another dead
baby born in Tupelo
Do you believe in God
Do you believe in Jesus Christ Have mercy
on me Lord I must have been blind Go a
beast inside that I sometimes just can't hide
When the wolfbane blooms and the shadows come
alive Death will be my bride
