a dog named death - the pine box boys lyrics

[narration]
now jubal was confused, and bordered on rejection
he only knew religion to be a bl–dy thing, and violent
he would’ve interrupted and shared his cold objections
but the way the preacher looked at him, jubal remained silent
when prester john spoke again you could’ve heard a bee’s wing
jubal thought that prester john was speaking right at him
prester john’s words, like rain, cold and freezing, said:
“he would show you mercy, if only you would ask him
forgive us all, lord, as we forgive our debtors
this mountain is mighty fine, but heaven will be better.”

[verse 1]
the devil’s playing fetch with a dog named death
pick ’em up and put ’em down, ain’t no time to catch your breath
run a little faster, he’s nipping at your heels
you’d trade the feet god gave you for a faster set of wheels
no deal when the sun goes down;
dog jumps up and he turns around
death is a-hungered and a-running wild
granny, does your dog bite? “h-ll yeah, child.”

[verse 2]
the devil’s playing catch with the rising sun
there’s a long night a-coming for everyone
all the time you had to bow your head to pray
you never knew thirst until it rained all day
get up when the sun goes down
grab a pretty girl and whirl her ’round
the mule and a gr-sshopper eat a lump of coal
the mule got sick and we laid him in a hole

[verse 3]
the devil’s playing fetch with a dog named death
pick ’em up and put ’em down, ain’t no time to catch your breath
you thought you had him beat, so you turned around to check
now he’s bearing down upon you and he’s got you by the neck
head’s pounding and your throat is dry
pour you up a sip of my bootleg rye
there’s blood on the handle of my wooden plough
i plowed thirty acres but i don’t know how
